In IFR approach designations, "straight-in" means a final approach course
that is less than 30 degrees from extended centerline.

Flying straight for the airport qualifies.

I'm 10 miles N of the field and the tower calls for a straight-in on
runway 20.

What's the best way intercept the runway centerline?

Vaguely aiming for a point on the extended CL always seems too, well,
vague...

Should I turn on base way out here and then a right turn onto the
centerline?

fly a 45 degree angle (heading 155) to the CL?

something else?


Thanks,
