1.9 NDB(L) and VOR Procedures
1.9.1 NDB(L) and VOR instrument approach procedures are pilot interpreted procedures
notified for particular aerodromes and runways where procedural tracks are defined
by NDB(L) bearings or VOR radials. Some NDB(L) and VOR procedures may include
marker beacons or DME to provide ranging information. Aircraft may also be radar
vectored to an NDB(L) or VOR final approach track. An example of a typical NDB(L)
instrument approach procedure to an aerodrome outside controlled airspace follows;
similar RTF phraseology may be employed in VOR procedures.
NOTES:
1 All manoeuvres associated with entering the holding pattern are considered
to be part of the holding procedure.
2 Aircraft engaged in holding for training purposes should notify the controller
on the commencement of the penultimate hold, e.g. ‘G-CD on completion of
this hold, request commence approach’.
