IFR Training - DME Arc Approach | Most Challenging IFR Approaches | VOR 15 Martin State

One of the most challenging IFR approaches out there uses a DME arc and is the VOR 15 at Martin State (KMTN) (Used to be called VOR/DME Z Rwy 15). It includes a DME arc, but unlike many other approaches that have arcs, this one has an arc as the actual final approach course. This means we'll be arcing all the way until we get sight of the runway, or go missed. When we do go missed, the missed approach procedure calls for...another DME arc! This is followed by a VOR hold. This entire approach can be flown with just one VOR and a DME (we'll substitute a GPS in lieu of DME). It's a challenge, and will definitely have me on my toes the whole time, but with a little planning and a good brief, won't be so bad!
