I just bought LECO via Orbx. I like to practice SIDS and STARS from the airports I buy, but this Vpt RWY 03 approach puzzles me.

It is a visual approach, but how am I supposed to start where? In particular: how to fly  from where 114 degrees to CO401 with only VOR and DME? And I approach at 3500 feet?

**N.B Using Navigraph charts nomenclature**

VPT 03 (12-1A) is dependant on approach 12-1 "RNP RWY 03"

VPT stands for "Visual approach with Prescribed Tracks".

So if you look at 12-1 "RNP RWY 03" you will see that IDOTU (IAF) is the fix that you should fly outbound 114 degrees. There is a mandatory crossing restriction at 5000ft at IDOTU.

This is a rather interesting approach, energy mgmt is key here if you want to lose altitude according to suggested profile without exceeding 160kt IAS.  Also add a short 2NM final approach leg.
 

Cool approach, little unusual than your 3 degree ILS 🙂

Wow that is new for me, two approach chart needed for 1 approach. Thanks! (I have Navigraph)
