I must be going thick, but how do I do a procedure turn to turn
through just 30 degrees? Surely it is just a rate one turn?


What's a 'rate one turn'?

What I've read was that when the turn to the final approach course is
more than 30 degrees, the procedure designers want you to turn outbound
first, to give you a chance to get established on the final approach
course before the FAF.
