crazy approaches

My flight school, got a new Frasca simulator which has every airport in
the world in it's database. I want to be able to make my students fly
all sorts of weird/unusual/difficult approaches, but the only
approaches that I am familiar with are the ones around here.

There was this one my instructor gave me when I was getting my
instrument which had a DME arc to the MAP, then the missed approach
procedure was a climbing right turn to a VOR radial to track, then a
hold at an intersection nonstandard turns. I have no idea which
approach it was, but it was very crazy. What are some interesting
approaches I can throw at my students?

There are a few LOC-BC approaches. The one I'm familiar with around here
is the LOC-BC 24 at ABE.

There's a few LDA's around (such as the LDA-A at LGA). And, of course, the
grand-daddy of weird LDA's is the Rosslyn LDA 19 at DCA.

There's always the RNAV (GPS) RWY 16 at Pease International, NH. Not a
hard approach to fly, but amusing waypoint names.

Depending on what the available displays are in the Frasca,
a partial panel VOR using only an RMI. [any airport]

Sheppard AFB at Wichita Falls, TX

Aspen

Sounds like that one-of-a-kind DME ARC approach somewhere in Maryland.

That would be the VOR/DME TACAN Z RWY 15 approach for Baltimore/Martin State
(MTN) no straight segments in approach at all!

The VOR/DME OR TACAN Z RWY 15 at KMTN.

Show them the approach at KASE (Aspen) and ask them if the missed is
normal or reverse sensing (the missed is a localizer).

Look up Hong Kong. There is, or used to be, a unique approach.

As I recall, TVC (Traverse City MI) has/had a DME ARC to the ILS with
a climbing left turn on the missed to the VOR 5 mi south.

Not weird, just not common around here
