IFR then VFR back to KPAO

It is my opinion that by shooting this approach, you are opening
yourself up to a possible violation. Let me explain... take a look at
the missed approach procedure for this IAP. You will note that it
requires you to track direct a TACAN, then a radial out of it to an
intersection. I believe if they wanted to, a fed could easily give you
a violation for not having the appropriate equipment for the approach.

I don't know about current Garmin 430 databases, but their simulator
has the PAULZ intersection in there. As for getting cleared into
Moffett, umm, you might have a better chance at getting an approach
into Nellis or Beale (NOT!). Maybe I'm wrong though. Also if you
get an approach into Moffett, they will still have to vector you
all around the bay area. You might as well get the approach into PAO.

DA for the Moffet ILS 32R is 227. MDA
for PAO is I think 460 so it is not that much better....then again
I shooting the approach into PAO to minimums must be fun since that
runway is so small. I've shot practice approaches there and have
landed there many many times but doing it to minimums must be fun.
