When flying a VOR approach in which the FAF is defined by the VOR, is
it appropriate to start the descent to the MAP, or next stepdown,
immediately after overflying the VOR or should I wait until I have
positive course guidance for the final approach segment?

I ask because it can sometimes take 1-2nm for the CDI to move, which
may require a rushed descent to the MAP on some approaches.


Are you a simulator only pilot?

I ask, because that is a question that would be answered during
instrument training.


Sam, I think you asked me that question before and I answered .

I'm a RW instrument student.
