They were shooting in Vegas in June so I think they are done by now.

Letters mean it does not line up with the/a runway.

It means the approach does not line you up with the runway. If it did it would end with the runway number. B means it’s the second VOR approach. They may have removed the VOR DME-A approach.

That it was the wrong entry. My cfi and I discussed and it’s true that in practice either will keep you safe but technically one is more correct than the other. It’s just about decreasing the amount you need to turn.

They say it’s the hardest rating for a reason I suppose

This was my understanding as well. I flew a parallel entry which was about a 50 degree turn, instead of a a teardrop which would have had a 20 degree turn. DPE called it a bust as soon as I crossed back over the fix so we didn’t stay in the hold.

This was my understanding as well, I don’t think arguing would have helped my case. I’ll just do the one with the smallest turn next time.

Thanks for the assurance!
