We've got an on the field VOR in Grand Forks and that is how we do it here. Within 10, down to the MDA. Because anything within 10 is inside the protected airspace if you are on a published portion.

That's the way I've been taught and always done it. Within 10 and on course, you're good. Of course figuring a VDP and then a comfortable 3 degree descent point down to it. , rather than "diving and driving" is more the norm for airline operations now.

Agree. That's the correct procedure for approaches that have no FAF and have the MAP at the navaid, commonly known as a terminal approach.
