Procedure turn required?

I was using a Frasca 141 sim today with an instructor when this
question came up. Fullerton CA (KFUL) VOR-A approach. At WILMA on
V64, flying the full approach. Do you need to turn outbound at the
VOR for the procedure turn?

Instructor says no because a Victor airway leads to the IAF. I say
yes because even though that's true, "No PT" is not listed on that
feeder route.

If, after evaluating that the altitude/heading that your arrival ends up at
the IAF/FAF will not require a procedure turn for alignment or altitude
considerations, the best solution would be to advise ATC that you wish to
make a straight in approach rather than fly the published procedure turn.
If that is not practical you should advise ATC that you plan to make the
published procedure turn. Either decision should be passed on to ATC for
traffic separation and aircraft control. (it also has the benefit of helping
insure ATC won't file some procedural violation against you).
