I quite like doing this approach as it's one of the few approaches in Victoria where you're tracking outbound from the aid to the missed approach point, and the few approaches where the missed approach point is a distance/time from the aid rather than 'station passage'. And I think it's a common one for people doing their IR initial or renewal test because of that.
If this approach is officially removed from the DAPs, then what's stopping people from doing practice NDB/VOR approaches here in VMC?
I see the Airservices website still has this
approach published in the August 09 issue.
