Do any of you read IFR refresher? Its an excellent magazine and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to constantly challenge their IFR knowledge.
Usually every month they will pick out an interesting approach and discuss it. December talks about the VOR 7 into LWT. Below is a link to this plate.

My question is this, if one were cleared for the DME arc portion of this approach from the IAF, how exactly would you fly to that point? I would think that joining the arc anywhere inside of the 307 radial would be good enough, but what do you all think?
Another question maybe more for the ATC guys, is it legal to start an arc any place inside the IAF?
