I'm trying to visualise this.... not sure if I've got it quite right in my head (if there's an on-line copy of the plate that would be good!), but if I understand you correctly, isn't this the way that all procedural approaches were done before the invention of DME?
I would imagine that there are rules somewhere about how much contingency must be built in to various procedures and how this affects the MDH and also the required distance from any obstacles. No idea where to find this stuff, though. Anyone got any ideas?
