The VOR/DME C Approach
The VOR/DME C approach for will always be to runway 15.

  • Arriving aircraft will receive radar vectors to the DBL (Red Table) VOR, and clearance to cross the VOR at 14,000 and join the depicted arrival. Diagram 1 shows position over the DBL VOR at 14,000 MSL.


Diagram 1

  • Join the DBL 164 radial outbound and descend immediately to cross DBL 3 DME at 13,100 as shown in diagram 2. The DBL VOR frequency is 113.0.

Diagram 2
  • Continue descending on the 164 radial to cross DBL 6 DME, ALLIX intersection at 12,200 as shown in diagram 3. After ALLIX, ATC speed restrictions terminate. Maintain normal approach speed for aircraft type.

Diagram 3
  • Continue descent to 10,800. Depending on weather conditions, the field should come into sight between DBL 6 DME and 9.5 DME. In diagram 4, the field has been spotted.

Diagram 4
  • Initiate a left turn to intercept the runway 15 extended centerline. An expedited descent is required. In diagram 5, a turn to final is being initiated.

Diagram 5
  • In the case of a missed approach, climbing to 14,000, turn right to heading 300 and join the I-PKN backcourse, frequency 108.5. Expect radar vectors to DBL. As shown in diagram 6, our expert vZDV controller/pilots do not miss the approach very often.

Diagram 6
  • After touchdown, exit runway to the left as soon as practical. Caution airplanes on taxiways opposite direction waiting for runway 33 departures, especially on taxiway A8.
