Several items I would like to cover.
1. On the HSI you will notice a green circle and straight line. The circle is at 20 miles from the airport and the line represents a straight line thru DTMB at the runway headings for both 7 and 25. This line runs through the center of the airport and not the MON VOR. The purpose of this circle and line is as reference point in case something goes wrong on the approach and I need to do a 180 degree turn, head out 17-20 miles, do another 180 degree turn and try another appproach. I do this at all airports at which I am landing. It is just conicidence that both the arc and the circle are at 20 miles. This circle and line are entered on the FIX INFO page.
2. On the HSI you will notice the last waypoint in the arc is DTM02. This is enterted on the scrachpad as DTMB253/20 and then line selected to RINOS. RINOS does not disappear but a disco develops that you must remove. DTM02 is now part of the approach to 7. So this has exteneded the apprroach out to 20 miles and should give you plenty of time to capture the LOC and setup a stablised approach. On do this on any approach that has a sharp turn onto final in the 10-15 mile range.
