Y'All,
Received this email for which I have come to the group for an answer.

Dear Gene,
I was recently on an instrument checkride for the Military, and the
instructor asked me a bonus question: "can you have a IAP with no published
inbound course." I couldn't think of any scenarios, maybe you could? The
checkride ended up getting weathered out so he couldn't tell me how I did on
the ground phase or the answer.

Thanks

Well, I think it is a trick question.

An ASR or PAR (GCA in military speak) has no charted inbound (final
approach) course. But, it has a published course ala the controller's
video map, which is a legal course for FAA radar approach procedures.
