I had an unusual occurrence the other night. I was inbound to KGLS from
offshore on a medevac flight, using a Lifeguard callsign. The GLS
weather was 1/4 mile, VV001, and I was talking to ZHU. The controller
finally figured out where I was, and gave me radar contact about 30 miles
south. Generally we get turned over to approach at about 20 miles, but
that night we got nothing, other than asking if we had the GLS weather,
which we already had. Finally at about 5 miles from the airport I called
and gave my position, and inquired about the approach. After some ers,
ums, etc, I got "maintain 2000 until established, cleared for the
approach". I was surprised, but we started setting up for the full
approach instead of the vectors we generally get.


I was just looking at the NACO chart for GLS ILS 13
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?I14153A5A). Curiously, there's no exemption
from the procedure turn, even for the feeder route from HUB to SWANE. So
should you fly from HUB to SWANE, make an uncharted procedure turn outbound,
then turn around and come back in? Or is there a chart error?
