I'm here asking a question, not to be ridiculed about how I don't know instrument 101 stuff... thank you.

Are you certain established means you are "centered on the LOC?"
I have been flying a Hawker for the past 3 years. This isn't a scenario that you get everyday. When we practice in the sim, we use 1 dot to define "established" and that's when we can start our descent. Without going into too much detail in my original question, I was just trying to see if somebody can find the answer in writing somewhere.
BrewMaster: Good article.
The other part of my question refers to the time when you are able to start a descent after passing TAM. Is it after passing TAM outbound, or after the Procedure Turn and "established inbound"?
