Suppose I don't have a GPS, and I want to fly the VOR/DME-A

have a feeder route. How do I get there?

KACCY is on a feeder route. Have a look at Boulder City VOR (BLD).
The line running from there to KACCY intersection along BLD R-225
is a feeder route (it has the three prerequisites: Altitude (7100),
distance (21.7) and direction (225 deg).

Ah, so it is. I was looking at the other end of the arrow, and it was a
thin line so I assumed it was just a radial for identifying KACCY.

This is a lot easier to see on the Jeppesen charts. The difference between
the three types of lines is much more pronounced. They really are thin,
medium and thick ;-)

You can see that the first part of the line running from BLD is heaver,
up to the first arrow (which is just outside the 10NM ring).

If you are having a hard time seeing this on the PDF version, try increasing
the magnification. It becomes clearer then.



The VOR/DME-A also shows a transition from LAS to KACCY, 7100', 180 deg.,
16.5 miles

Ah, I see. Thanks!

OK, this is all starting to make more sense now.
