I don't have the Jepp chart in front of me, but I'd bet that, not only
is Ron correct, but the bunch of you may be misinterpreting the Jepp
chart also.

Looking at the NACO chart
(http://naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0404/00858VDGB.PDF) and starting from the
VOR, the full approach procedure it shows is to fly a course of 133°
at 5000 msl to ISLSIC (3 DME), the IAF (the only IAF on the chart that
requires a procedure turn. Note that the VOR is =not= an IAF).

Once crossing ILSIC, you may descend to 3600' and begin the procedure
turn - just keep it within 10 NM of ILSIC.

Once PT inbound, if you are more than 6 DME away from the VOR, you may
only continue your descent to 2400' until you reach the 6 DME point
(CFIVO) after which you may continue down to 2000' until ILSIC (the
FAF)

(Ron or other Jepp users, is this what the Jepp chart for the
procedure shows?)
