I have been looking up for the difference between those two approaches, and while looing at approach charts, something grabbed my attention.
I will post the link for the two approach charts at different airports:-
http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1612/00110V16.PDF
http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1612/00483VD23.PDF
I understand, the only difference between the chart is the FAF being identified either by VOR or Fix from VOR.
Is there other difference I do not see here?
And also for VOR16 at KDAB,
http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1612/00110V16.PDF
It is using VOR only, even though it is a VORTAC and still able to receive the dme information, why FAA publishes VDP in terms of DME distance if it is VOR approach?
MAP can be well identified by timing from FAF though...
