OTLK VFR
Filing Flight Plan
This question refers specifically to the ILS 32R at KCMI and came up on a recent oral exam...
The situation is that you have been cleared to hold at the OCTOE intersection and are subsequently cleared to execute the approach (i.e. "Cessna 123 cleared ILS 32R approach") while holding. Your aircraft is /U (no DME), has no ADF receiver, no GPS unit, and a single VOR receiver and to top it off, CMI does not currently have radar service (no vectors available) and you are in the soup with 700' ceilings.
How do we execute this approach? At the time, all I could reasonably come up with was to fly the feeder route from OCTOE to VEALS, proceed outbound for the PT, and then straight in. After he fact, I checked up on the recommended procedures and found that my answer seems to be correct referencing AIM 5-4-6 (a) At the time this answer was not satisfactory for my examiner who noted that when you intercept the localizer outbound, you have no reliable way to determine your distance from the OM unless you happen to overfly it. I said that you could periodically reference your position relative to the DNV 224 radial used to identify JAVOM to get a decent idea, but that didn't fly either.
I'm just wondering what I'm missing here?
