For those flying the base leg there is no further use for VFA once starting the base leg turn at VFA 7.2 DME. The ILS should be tuned and identified starting the base leg turn. If flying the LOC (GS out) procedure then the IFF DME is also required.
Actually coming from GEBTI I seem to think that the point IF ( 9 DME IIF ), that is before VFA 8 DME, is the one charted for pilots coming from that point.
