BOAC - my outfit has in the past had speeds back at VLS on the approach via the DAL on the base turn due to inappropriate configuration, with a low selected speed. The effects of TAS on turning radius approaching a 2000ft AMSL airport having not been fully considered.

The ILS/DME + VOR 23R is what we recommend guys to fly as it positions the aircraft correctly with no issues, and in a controlled manner, just the need for sensible selection of the speeds to ensure that turning radii are maintained. Fly to the DAM VOR, fly the hold entry and then fly outbound on the procedure next time over the DAM.
