In my case, this is what I did: *I was on V187 from Seattle at 6000.. *Once I was within 25 nm of AST, I descended to 4300. *About 12 nm away from AST, I turned roughly north and flew back out to 19 DME from AST, then turned east to follow the 19 DME arc until I was within a few degrees of the localizer course. *At that point I started a turn towards the localizer and armed the autopilot, which captured the localizer and glide slope immediately and took over. *About a mile away from the airport I disengaged the AP and flew the landing by hand. Was this correct? *I'm confused by the references to the NDB and the pointers towards the east and the procedure turn. *Do I have multiple options for this approach? *Was the way I flew it one of them? *Or what? I almost thought that maybe I was supposed to fly to the VOR then outbound to the NDB then make a procedure turn and come back in. *But the DME arc had IAFs at each end so I finally figured I could just come in towards the VOR then fly back out to the arc and finally turn towards the airport, which is what I did. There is absolutely nothing ambiguous about this approach. *Any rated pilot, from 50 miles out at 6000 feet on V187 would not be happy to hear center say "Cleared ILS 26, report to the tower at the outer marker inbound" but would know what to do. It would be the same thing we would do had we lost radio communication and our last clearance was to that airport. Have you any clue as to why we would not be happy to get that clearance? What would YOU do?

Consider again the clearance and your position. My own preference is to not have to hurry down from en route altitudes. |
