Why do it if it's not fun?

Ah - makes a lot more sense now I can see the plate! And can I suggest that we use the NDB/GPS plate, since there is one, rather than use the ILS plate and pretend that we're not using the localiser?

Yes, anticipating the turn would be nice, but I agree it would be difficult (and, ironically, the more accurately you fly in to the beacon, the harder it will be to anticipate). But the procedure designers will build enough contingency into the procedure to allow for this, and I would imagine that the document which bookmark has linked to will specify how much (if I'm really, really bored I might even look for it later!)

Interesting to note that, on the NDB/GPS procedure, the minimum altitude at the LOM is 2100', quite a bit higher than you would be at that point on the ILS.
