Aaahh my name sake!

Well having experienced this from both ends I think its great for a non radar airfield and I also think it’s a very easy procedure to fly. As already said it allows a semi direct feed in to the procedure, ILS, NDB or VOR. It also builds in procedural separation for the controller to check i.e. “established on arc east bound passing the 160 radial”, this can be used against say departures when approved.

Its also the little man’s centre fix, cuts out all the join and procedure from the beacon.
