Actually, "exceeds the minimums by 300' per nm" should read

"exceeds the minimums _of_ 300' per nm"

Well, I pulled up the Garmin 500 sim and put 199 in for TRIXY in OBS mode.
This puts the 199 radial just about right through the BIITO BCM on the LOC
BC RWY 8. That fix is 3.9 miles west of the airport, and that runway is
7000 ft long. So, it would be about 5 miles to go 1300' from a field
elevation of 557, which is required by the 300' per NM in the ODP.

Now, the interesting thing was that I accidentally selected 199 from TRIXY
(as diagrammed) when I put the GPS in OBS mode after putting the DP in the
FPL. If you actually use the 199 radial from LDN as written, the point in
space is 1.15NM east of BIITO, but that's still 4 miles from MADNK (the
beginning of RWY 26). Just barely flying the minimum would put you 20
seconds past the 199 from LDN assuming a standard rate left turn. If
performance exceeds the minimums by 300' per nm, I would presume this is a
non-issue, but I could use some instrument DP practice.

Any other thoughts? Has anyone tried this "for real"?
