sure, the only book i don't have accessible. i had to do some searching to find it online.

So if the fix is on the field, ie VOR on the field, i have 10 DME total to get outbound and the procedure turn completed. but if there is a IF, then i have 10 DME from that point to complete the turn?

Look at the profile view. The 10 nm (or whatever) is based on the fix where the outbound course begins.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking about, but keep in mind that it isn't always 10 "DME." It's 10 nm from the beginning of the outbound section or whatever point is specified on the approach.

Yes, that happens, but it's a good thing. It keeps us going back to our sources so that we don't dispense BS. Or that's the theory, anyway.

10 DME reference to what specific plate/approach? I would think it has to do with whatever is specified, FAF, VOR, Fix.
