[/QUOTE]I fly out of perth and can confirm that there is a local procedure used mainly for training. I have yet to use it for real, Dundee is only 10 miles NW so in the event of a let down.[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]It's probably a perfectly good procedure but is "unpublished" due to lack of ATC or whatever technicality.QUOTE]
No, it's a perfectly dangerous procedure precisely because there is no one to regulate who flys it and when they fly it.
In the UKAIP it clearly states that this is an en route nav aid only and the VOR is owned and operated by NATS, they are the only people who regulate when it is available.
If anyone is admitting that it is used for IMC training or any sort of approach at Perth they are lending themselves to a whole heap of much deserved trouble.
In the near future most NATS en route VORs are to be withdrawn and replaced with reporting points, NEW became NATEB recently, more to follow.
