Procedure turn inbound

[FL420]

Alright, we're done. Why you decided to single me out is beyond me, considering my answers were really no different than just about everyone else in the thread. Have a good one.

I'm sorry if you think I singled you out and am picking on you. That was not my intention.

I just think you are not only practicing but are teaching others a practice that, in the right circumstances, could be dangerous. I tried to ask questions that would lead you and other readers to consider what could go wrong. Of course, things do tend to go wrong at the worst possible moment(e.g.-when cockpit workload goes through the overhead when the weather is crappy, fuel is tight and ATC decides to "slam dunk" you.)

I do hope you at least think about the points I tried to make.

Alright, sorry if I overreacted, but you have to see that your posts have come off as rather challenging and dismissive. If we can have a good discussion on this topic, great, I like to learn new things.

But to be perfectly honest, I don't really understand your last question. Is the needle coming in normally, then all of a sudden it fails? If it does that and I don't have any other course guidance (i.e. maybe a ground station failure), then I probably make a bolt for MSA while turning to fly the inbound heading and picking a new approach to fly. Makes sense to me, but I'm open to suggestions on that one.

What's the other situation that it could be? Being off course and getting erroneous CDI movement?

Well, to neutralize this a bit, let's say that the needle begins to swing in, but rather than at case break, we wait until 1/4 to center until we begin the descent.

It is just as conceivable that something could still be interfering with the signal casuing the needle to swing towards center even if you wait until it comes in just as in the case break example.
