Ref. the following VOR approach:
http://edj.net/cgi-bin/echoplate.pl?NorthWest/HIO_vd_gA.GIF
The hold is at an intermediate fix (the VOR), and not directly aligned with the approach course.
Question:
If an aircraft is in the hold at the minimum altitude, and subsequently cleared for the approach, does the aircraft have to perform the procedure turn, or may it cross the VOR and proceed straight in?
Please reference any FAR's or AIM paragraph's.
Thanks in advance.
