Q

When not to do procedure turns:

A
  • Cleared for Straight in approach
  • Flying via NoPt route
  • When established in holding and subsequently cleared for the approach and the holding course and PT course are the same.
  • When on radar vectors
  • ATC cleares the aircraft for timed approach

Q

Missed approach options:

A
  • Require ATC clearance
