I should know the answer to this but I guess my memory needs refreshing...

Consider a VOR instrument approach where there is no Maltese Cross depicted on the profile view of the approach chart. This indicates that the Final Approach Fix is the procedure turn inbound and consequently indicates when further descent may be made.

Now would I be correct in saying that vectors to final on these kind of approaches would not be authorized because you wouldn't know when to start a descent? (and therefore only the full procedure could be made)
