I have heard so many different theories on when to do a procedure turn/course reversal, that I want to get your all views on this scenario. You are northwest of DAKKA on a 140 degree bearing to the fix and cleared for the approach. ATC cleared you for the approach and said nothing about a "straight in approach" in the clearance. Do you turn right and do the procedure turn at DAKKA or do you turn left and continue inbound for the airport?

I was always taught and have taught that a procedure turn is not required in the following events:
S-straight in approach clearance
H-holding
A-arc procedure
R-radar vectors
P-"No PT" on chart
The more I look at this though, the more I realize it doesn't really cover the scenario above. What do you all think?
