Rotordan:
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.
Good point. Since IFF D7.2 (and VFA D8.0) are in the profile as well as the plan view, I can only speculate that the procedures designer added that as an aid in rolling out of the base legs.
Certainly not the best design I've seen. There is no note about DME being required when the GS is out.
