Quite! But where's 'here'? It's a question of philosophy. You are NOT setting up a non-database approach. You are merely setting up track lines and a fix position that approimates with what you think you will want to fly. Then you leave it alone- it's you, the NDB needles, a compass and a stopwatch. If you try and fly this in NAV, you would be demented! But you should have the track lines there for the guidance of the non-handling pilot.
