Hi
I can't seem to find a solid answer to this question. Even the AIM has left me confused.
Assume i am flying an approach to a non towered airport. The approach has a procedure turn. (there is no NOPT depicted on the approach) I was cleared for the full approach. If I was flying from a direction that required a course reversal and i am flying the full approach then there is no doubt that I need to fly the procedure turn. But let's say I'm flying from a direction that puts me on course for the runway do I still need to fly the procedure turn?
Basically my question is do I need to fly a procedure turn if a course reversal is not needed?
Thanks
Felix
