June 11, 200619 yr My latest SIDSTAR Update, for KABQ Albuquerque Intl Sunport, includes my attempt to reproduce a procedure turn. The hard constraint I haven't found a workaround for is that it must be flown at 210KIAS; otherwise, it seems to be working at least as well as I can handfly one (or better depending on winds). Anyway, it is included only on approach transitions that require it: ILS08 ABQ transition, NDB35 ILT transition and VOR08 ABQ transition. One word of caution, VNAV will insert 250KT in spite of speed constraints after every leg in the text file... so I set MCP speed control to hold 210KT at the IAF until on the final approach course. Any feedback on how this works for others would be great... I can fly it because I built it but can others? Dan Downs KCRP
