mross...imagine you are flying heading 360 degrees over runway 36 make a left 90 followed by a right 270 and you should be heading 180 in a place to go straight in to runway 18
it is a course reversal
and dear clandestino
real pilots do use 90/270s in real life and in the sim.
we are allowed to do them in lieu of a charted procedure turn as long as it is on the protected side.
I've done them in real jets / real instrument simulators...GETTING PAID REAL MONEY.
