Default KPAE ILS...Now Requires DME...Why?

You've just sent me off to the plates and you're quite right!

I'm still pleased about the dropping the ADF requirement though.

I don't have any of the old plates around. Did all this coincide with
removing the LOM? I definitely remember that PAE had one but don't
remember TIW.


I have plates from February 1998. The FAF for the KPAE ILS RWY 16R
localizer approach was RITTS LOM, it was also the IAF and the missed
approach holding fix. The KTIW ILS RWY 17 of that time was AMDT 8, the only
significant difference between it and the present AMDT 8A appears to be the
removal of the MM.



When they first commissioned the ILS RWY 17L to KGYI they had a ADF
required for the hold. I never understood why you couldn't use the
localizer, the outer marker, and or the 302 degree radial to define the
holding point. I sent a letter to the designers, and they came back
saying in their haste that they did make it more complicated. They moved
the hold to URH VOR that was some 30 miles away. I withdrew my request
and they went back to the ADF required on the approach.

My idea was to fly the missed approach, to to fly the local backwards to
intercept the 302 degree radial and hold. But the designers didn't like
that.
