Answer 24

Fly outbound leg to descent to MDA can be completed to safely land.

Question 25

When can you descend from a PT fix altitude?

Answer 25

Do not descend until crossing over or outbound abeam the procedure turn fix

Question 26

When can you descend from a procedure turn completion fix?

Answer 26

Do not descend until established on an inbound segment of the approach

Answer 29

1+30

Question 30

How does leg timing work for HILPT entry?

Answer 30

If point is a facility, start timing when abeam or attaining the outbound heading, whichever is last. When point is a fix, time when attaining the outbound heading

Question 31

Answer 31

SNERT Straight in No PT established on inbound Radar vectors to final Timed approach

Question 32

Question 36

What do you do if you arrive at the IAF on a HI Teardrop above published alt?

Answer 36

Descend at IAF then commence approach
