Contact approach question

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?

Yes, make the procedure turn unless you're vectored to the final approach course.

What do you mean "uncharted"? There's a procedure turn barb on the chart.

There's a note "Procedure turn N/A for Cat E", so if you're Cat E you need to
have vactors for the final approach course, or use some other approach. Must be
some terrain or obstruction within the protected area for Cat E.

For the inbound procedure turn, yes. The outbound turn would have to be
flown after reaching SWANE inbound.

I emailed NACO about this chart, and they replied promptly that the omission
of NoPT for the HUB feeder is indeed a chart error, and will be corrected in
the next revision.
