I'm having a little bit of a hard time figuring this one out...
Low-Alt. Enroute Section
Madison, WI ILS 36
OK, say that I'm flying up to Madison via victor airways from the south. Just for fun, lets say that I've departed O'hare and am proceeding to MSN via V24 and V9.
My flight plan is from ORD to MSN via
OBK V24 JVL V9 MSN
Along the line, I get switched over to Rockford approach, but oops, something seems to have happend to my radio(s). Luckily, I already received ATIS at MSN and it advised that ILS for runway 36 is in use. I'm in IMC, so landing at another airport is out of the question.
So far, no big deal. Remain calm, fly the airplane, squawk 7600 and proceed as filed. So I get out my ILS RWY 36 approach chart and notice that MSN is not an IAF, but on closer inspection, I notice that there is a feeder route off of MSN on the 180 radial. (I think that I may have just answered my own question, but...)
Should I:
a) Proceed to the VOR and make a 161 degree left turn (or a 199 degree right turn?) to get on to the feeder route to the LOM (which is the only IAF) and commence the full approach, or
b) Proceed direct to the LOM when I get within range and make a course reversal to do the full approach, or
c) Tune in the ILS localizer and "vector" myself onto it.
I'm leaning towards choice A, but I'm not 100% sure.
