differences in loc/dme and loc with dme appch at KRUT?
Can anyone point out why the following approaches have minor differences
(specifically the minimums and the MAP): RUT LOC/DME 19 RUT LOC 19 (with DME) |

All the minimums for the LOC w/DME are as good or better than the corresponding values for the LOC/DME. I can't see any reason anybody would ever want to fly the LOC-DME. I can only see one possible reason for the LOC-DME to exist, and I'll admit it's grasping at straws. In the LOC-DME, you start the missed further out, which may be of some operational advantage to ATC? But since this is an untowered airport, it's almost certainy "one-in, one-out", so I can't get too excited about that idea. |

Yes, it mentions "via RUT VOR/DME" in the missed text, but there aren't actually any fixes that use DME from RUT. The only DME callout I see in the missed is GITEW, which is I-RUT 16.4. I can't see any reason this approach wouldn't be flyable with the RUT DME out of service, as long as the VOR azimuth was still operating. |

I didn't say the procedure used DME information from RUT VOR/DME. The navaid is called a VOR/DME. The missed approach procedure includes a climb to 2600 via direct to the VOR/DME and then the 221 radial from it. You can't do that if the navaid is out of service. |

As long as the VOR portion is working, you can. The status of the DME portion is immaterial to this approach. |

The naming convention was changed in TERPs.

RUT LOC/DME 19 The DME is required.. and in this approach the DME is co-located with the localizer for 19. RUT LOC 19 (with DME) DME optional, but the DME for use in THIS approach is co-located with the VOR which is on-field, but sited differently from the Localizer. I GUESS it gives you the option of using either DME if one happens to be inop on the ground. the DME mins are in the 800 ft range agl (with plenty of tall obstructions within 10 miles..) Might make it a little easier for the commuters to get in there when the weather is bad.. I dunno. Dave |

It looks to me like other than the step-downs at FISER and MAUVE on the feeder routes, all the DME callouts on both approaches reference I-RUT. Are you seeing something I'm not? |
