IAP without inbound course?
There is only one such IAP in the country (probably the world). If, however, you mean most pilots don't know how to fly DME ARC initial approach segments, then their training is seriously lacking. They used to have several DME ARC final approaches in Germany. The military especially used them as backup procedures to get to the airport if the base facilities were off the air, and sometimes as primary procedures if there weren't any on-field facilities. Most of the time the arc didn't line you up with the runway centerline unless the facility just happened to be perfectly abeam the airport. John |
