correct this is another option, although ATC always throws a curved ball at the last minute, and as i am being checked i want to stay on the legal side, although the design of the procedure is a bit dubious.
this is what im reading. but cant quite understand the base turn exemption.
3.3 FLIGHT PROCEDURES FOR
RACETRACK AND REVERSAL
PROCEDURES
3.3.1 Entry
3.3.1.1 Unless the procedure specifies particular
entry restrictions, reversal procedures shall be
entered from a track within ±30° of the outbound track
of the reversal procedure. However, for base turns,
where the ±30° direct entry sector does not include
the reciprocal of the inbound track, the entry sector is
expanded to include it.
how do i know that DAL is the beginning of a base turn, and not the beginning of tha intitial approach segment
