Kaptin M,
Sorry!
Yes, the Anscabs weren't the only ones, a big QF did the same. But the CNS DME Arrival from the south should never really have existed: it really was very difficult to do onto 33 unless you had a big think about it beforehand and were a "bushpilot" ace, as obviously those ILS-to-ILS types weren't. Re Jaques, instead of timing for 1nm (I think it was), I used to time for 36sec for my groundspeed: found it was easier to use groundspeed to work out what the hell was happening and which way I was going! I'm really glad that Uncle Sam spent billions on the GPS system so we don't have to do DME homings anymore. Nowadays, all you have to try to work out is the capture region if you're trying to do a GPS NPA! Why does life have to be so difficult?
Alas, the AFAP, I remember the CNS Radar issue well: I wonder what we would do to DS and his band of merry airspace whizzes if we were all still a coherent bunch?
Anyway, "Approach, 30DME, We're Visual, request a DME Homing!".
