Smile DME Arc

Hello
As I gather you can enter a DME Arc from either side, there for in or outbond of the VOR you are flying the arc. From sim flying (nether done it in real life...) I gather that you are flying on a certain radial in or out bound and at a certain DME distance, deepending on a/c speed you turn 90 deg. (e.g for a 9 DME Arc turn starts at 8.5 DME(outbound) or 9.5 DME(inbound))and turn the OBS 10deg. Then each time the CDI reaches the middel turn 10 tune 10. . . until LOC/GS estaplished. For WCA just watch what the DME does and applie an apropriat messure.
I found it quit fun to "fly"....
Would like to do it once for real...does anybodyknow a DME Arc app. some where in Germany or Holland/Belgium???
Was at Biggin once butwe got straight in for the ILS...
Hope that peace of advice helps...would be grate ful for a hint...

Thanks Micky
