Just to the left of the HIL pattern, there is a lead radial RQZ LR-200
shown. I assume this is for use by aircraft flying the feeder route from
DCU on R-149. But why is it needed? I thought LRs were required for turns
of more than 90 degrees. The HIL is required for arrival on the feeder, and
the feeder route makes a perfect teardrop entry into the hold, so no turn is
required after crossing ENIKY.

So why the LR?


So, why? Only 'da Shadow know. ;-)

Lead radials are required by policy, in addition to what's in TERPs, for ILS
approaches that do not have collocated DME. That's not the case here, but the
procedures specialist could have made an error (not uncommon with nits like
this), or some flight inspection pilot could have recommended it based on how it
flew from his perch.
