Sorry about that. You're right, wrong thread. How did that happen?

Its all good man...

Yeah, I checked the "Glide Slope", and it shows a picture of a LOC/GS with "ARC" on it, but...uh...I'll be d@mned if it says what it does..

Airplane flying handbook perhaps? Instrument handbook?

Anyway...I'll let ya know if I see anything

Sorry bout the "mini-threadjack"...back to your regularly scheduled programming...

FBO or MESA (IMO)

MTPilot, you said the examiner isn't allowed to 'make up' an approach but what about using a published NDB approach from another airport? One from a high-ish elevation so the MDA is at or above the 25mi MSA for your local airport?

That provides safe terrain separation for the operation. The catch would be that any circling requirement will still have to use a local approach but any requirement to demonstrate a missed approach can be met if the chosen, non-local NDB approach only relies on the navaid for the missed.
