Alright, here's a real world example for you. You're flying AWI123 from
KORD to KGRB, Chicago departure puts you in the east departure track on a
360 heading and hands you off to Chicago Center. Around the Kenosha, WI,
area Chicago Center tells you to proceed direct to GRB VORTAC. Down the
road a piece you're handed off to Green Bay approach. At GRB the ILS RWY 36
approach is in use, and the approach controller notices you're present track
will intercept the localizer about fifteen miles from DEPRE, the LOM/IAF.
On initial contact you're told "descend and maintain 3,000 join the runway
36 localizer". About three minutes later you hear the same instruction
issued to EGF456. When you're about five miles from DEPRE the approach
controller says "AWI123 cleared ILS runway three six contact tower one one
eight point seven." When you reach DEPRE will you continue towards the
runway or will you start a procedure turn?

As someone who knows a couple of AWI pilots, I can tell you what they
would do. They'd point her one or two LRCH's to the left of DEPRE, peg
it a 250 kts to stay ahead of Eagle, a couple of miles from DEPRE chop
the power, deploy the airbrake, flaps, gear, some more flaps, stable at
1000', make the first turn-off, and be at the gate drinking Starbucks
while the rest of you try to make up your minds about flying a
proceedure turn or not.
