GPT (Gulfport MS) ILS 14 question

I think a lot of folks may not know what "VICE" really means!

Sorry, but I missed the original posting. I believe that at GPT there is no
V522, only V552. Maybe they charted something wrong and the NOTAM was to
change the error, V522, to the correct airway, V552.

DC 5/0505 GPT FI/T GULFPORT-BILOXI INTL, GULFPORT, MS.
ILS OR LOC RWY 14, AMDT 14...
CHANGE PLANVIEW NOTE: PROCEDURE NA FOR ARRIVALS
AT CAESA VIA V552 WESTBOUND VICE V522 WESTBOUND.

IF and only IF I was wanting to do a full procedure approach coming from
any other direction then westbound, would a procedure turn be authorized
based on the above FDC? If not, what is this FDC about?

True. The FAA is supposed to promote good human factors. "Instead of" would be
much clearer, but it's 9 characters instead of 5, and their NOTAM system is old
and clunky.

I tried uploading to the aviation binary group but apparently my ISP is now blocking
binary uploads to Usenet groups...which I understand is becoming more common.

They probably thought it was porn...

Breathlessly, I accepted my controller's vector. I was completely under
her control, adjusting heading and even altitude to meet her every whim.
Although I could not see, I could sense her guiding me closer and closer.
Approaching the outer marker, however, I started to slow down on my own. I
had never flown this approach before and wanted to savor those precious
moments between when the approach lights first showed themselves and when
my main gear finally touched the landing zone.

Then, it happened. My controller told me she didn't want to talk to me any
more and started giving me instructions on how to contact my next
controller. I had done this before, but there was still the mystery and
excitement of anticipating the unknown. I didn't know what to expect, but
followed her instructions anyway. What else could I do? My gear was
extended and there was no turning back now...

That's a nice variation on the Mile High Club. ;-)
