Hurro,
just curious why some of the kiwi approaches, i.e. VOR/DME18 at NZRO have a timed outbound, however a DME monitored inbound? why not use a DME outbound, doesnt appear to be terrain issues off the 356 radial for the DME signals. Also the same thing is noted with the NDB/DME18 at NZHN. The issues that come up are when you have a headwind on the outbound (happens with kiwi wx sometimes) therefore after you reach the time you can turn inbound before the FAF. Bugger, missed approach time
One also cant time adjust when indicating over 110kts
. Any thoughts on why they designed approaches like this?
