Approach to an LOM/IAF with PT (not vectors to final)

Jim, I like your idea on reading back for a straight-in.

Still doesn't make it legal, though

The thing
about doing a turn around the hold is that it seems to me to defeat the
whole purpose for the PT. As I understand it, the approaches have you
do this so that you are well-established on the SDF/ILS *before* you get
to the LOM. In this case, the PT or hold serves to destablize your
track and decrease safety. At least, that is how I see it.

Agreed. What's safe is not always legal, and what's legal is not always
safe

Another option. You could use the hold for a course reversal. "Roger
Minneapolis, cleared for the SDF 2, direct NEPCO, we'd like to do a lap
in
the hold rather than the procedure turn." This would be a little
quicker
because the holding fix is NEPCO. Right turn outbound, right turn
inbound,
straight in and land.
