On the other hand, there are "Some procedure turns are specified by
procedural track. These turns must be flown exactly as depicted."


This refers to things like charted teardrop reversals, where one goes
(for example) outbound on the 155 radial for five miles, turns right and
comes inbound on the 183 radial, all charted on the plate.

I would not infer from this that the outbound course of an ordinary PT
is not specified. What is in fact up to the pilot in a normal PT is the
method of reversing course once one is tracking the (given) outbound course.

One is required to fly the PT (exceptions discussed upthread). =Since=
this is true, one must turn to the outbound course in order to do so,
and cannot simply turn inbound. Since one is therefore flying outbound,
a course reversal is necessary at some point. Therefore, the type of
course reversal to be performed must be a procedure turn (of some sort).
