Question...
I always thought you could request a contact approach if, for example,
You routing ends at a VOR on the field you're landing on. That VOR contains a feeder route to the initial approach fix, but it takes you away from the airport for 10 miles before you return inbound after completing the procedure turn.
I was under the impression you could just ask for a contact approach and forget about going 10 miles out when you can see the airport below you.
You have 1 to 2 miles vis of course.
Never done it but is this possible?
