This is a pretty simple and standard course reversal procedure for a VOR approach. Galaxy is correct in his description. Breaking it down into procedural steps:


1. Approaching from the east, heading 280 deg., cross the BLV at 8,000'
2. Using a parallel entry, fly outbound on the 026 radial for one minute
3. Turn right and return to the BLV, maintaining 8,000'
4. Over the BLV the second time, turn left onto the outbound heading 026 (correcting for wind), descending to 6,500'
5. At 8 DME make a level turn inbound at 6,500, intercept the 026 radial inbound and begin the descent to MDA at 8 DME. (You would have flown further than 8 DME during the turn)
6. Maintain 4,998' (I would make it 5,000') until you have the runway in sight, continue visually and land. If not, go-around at 2,9 DME BLV.


You would not need to fly the entire procedure if you approached the VOR within 30 degrees of the outbound heading (Note on the chart). In this case you could fly the Procedure Turn Approach - with ATC permission:


1. Cross the BLV at 8,000' and intercept the 026 radial outbound descending to 6,500'
2. Perform the procedure turn, first to the right (45 degrees) then passing 8 DME commence the left turn to intercept the 026 radial inbound
3. Once established on the radial, descend to MDA as above.


Hope this helps.
