Default IAP without inbound course?

Y'All,
Received this email for which I have come to the group for an answer.

Dear Gene,
I was recently on an instrument checkride for the Military, and the
instructor asked me a bonus question: "can you have a IAP with no published
inbound course." I couldn't think of any scenarios, maybe you could? The
checkride ended up getting weathered out so he couldn't tell me how I did on
the ground phase or the answer.

Thanks
Mike Petruska

Well, how about the final being a dme arc, which we all know is an IAP
that exitst. In which case, the "inbound course" to the MAP is
constantly changing. Don't have my pubs with me, but I don't see how
it could have a "published" course in this instance

With the exception of one or two that arc to the runway, all arcs terminate
at a final approach course. The arc itself is an intermediate segment.

Beats me. I did not suggest that. I suggested the "drill instructor"
was being silly if he was looking for the answer to be "that one DME ARC
IAP."

I disagree.

To bust somebody on a question like that would have been more than
silly. However, =asking= the question, as a "bonus question", is a way
of examining people's unstated assumptions about flight and the
environment in which we aviate. This is always a good thing.

The arc itself is an intermediate segment.

Given that arcs begin with an INITIAL Approach Fix, that would make
them initial segments.
