OK, that's basically what I do too and the consequent errors are what I
meant by the "a bit" comment that led to Meehan's smart-ass shot. "A
bit" is maybe a 10-15% error on the time sans. I have no interest in
studying the TERPS design rules but I gotta believe that they leave us
plenty safe with that size error.

Don't bet on it. Study the rules.

I used to believe that just because you flew a VOR approach to well
within instrument PTS standards, using a VOR that had easily passed,
and would easily pass again, a VOR check, that I could be assured of
not slamming into an obstruction if I was still 200 ft above the MDA.
WRONG.
