Sorry if this is a dumb question but a quick look at that Baltimore
approach looks like the DME arc is the sole lateral guidance
mechanism.

I can fly DME arcs fine but have done them only as earlier parts of
approaches.

How easy is it to fly a DME arc to the required degree of accuracy?

It's been a while (like 4 or 5 years) since I had to do one but found
then relatively easy. Just remember which way to turn and watch the
DME.

There is no left/right indication anywhere; you are turning left/right
according to the digital DME readout.

I notice the MDH is quite generous on this one; perhaps that's the
reason...
