Interesting approach plate

That's just, like, your opinion, man
Hadn't seen one laid out like this before. TTPP (Port of Spain, Trinidad), NDB ILS Runway 10.

Scroll down to page 4. What do you all suppose "2900' to 2400'" in the profile view refers to? Best the other guy and I could figure out was that you should be between those two altitudes before continuing inbound on the approach while descending in the hold. The entire area is non-radar, by the way.
 
I'm thinking you need to descend through 2,900 to 2,400 in two minutes or less. Might coincide with some sort of exclusion to that prohibited area.
 
I think, pulling from the deep recesses of my old brain, you do the hold at 4100, then go outbound to 2900 feet, at 2 minutes turn inbound (in the hold) and descend to 2400. IIRC, on these international types of approaches with no radar you are to fly the procedure exactly as depicted, i.e., you have to do the complete hold at 4100 feet then the second time around the hold is the descent outbound and inbound.

Close, been a while since I looked at Jepp, but usually the procedure is that you can descend to 2900 outbound, then to 2100 until established inbound (so descending in the turn). That may be what you meant, actually, just wanted to clarify that the descent is in the turn until established inbound, then you can intercept the GS.
 
Kinda, its been so long since Ive had to do this I have forgotten the specifics on those international type approaches.
 
My guess is what the OP concluded......you need to be between 2900 and 2400 to pick up the ILS G/S once inbound. Like having a hard line above and below the two numbers on a traditional US approach plate. I could be very wrong though.
