If I were to be cleared to the VOR on a track of 180, could I proceed immediately outbound on the procedure or would I need to enter a hold to align myself with the outbound track?
8168 mentions we should arrive within +/- 30° of the initial approach track in case of base and procedure turns but does not mention specifically DR legs.
If it was me I'd only continue if I was within +/-30. So if I arrived from Radial 000 (Track 180) I'd enter the hold at the VOR, then continue. But that's rather an opinion.
I'd only continue the approach if arriving via r180-240.
