Hello Rexflyt,

thank you very much for your chart contribution! Something like that
approach at La Grande, was exactly what I had in mind when I started
this topic.
Since you said you are flying this approach often, I hope maybe you can answer a few more of my questions.

In the given scenario you arrive from the PDT VOR feeder fix, but loose DME info before arriving at the LGD NDB.
Now in that case ,as you said you have no reliable indication for distance to the NDB until you actually see the needle fall/station passage.

So how do you fly this approach in reality then after passing the NDB?
Immediate left turn to an intercept heading to re-intercept bearing 344 from the NDB?
And what kind of intercept angle do you use in these case to quickly re-establish yourself? 45degrees?30?

And another question, since you have to remain within 10NM of the NDB:

How do you determine/dead-recon roughly how far you are already away from the NDB when you have completed your intercept of the 344bearing?
Its kind of hard to guess,as you first overfly the station eastbound then re-intercept the 344 bearing from the east.
You would have to know this as to determine how much longer you can continue outbound on the 344 bearing and to stay safely within 10NM during the 180 degree procedure turn

Best regards and thanks for your help!
