A procedure turn is not required when: 

1. The symbol "No PT" is depicted. 

2. "Radar Vectoring" is provided. 

3. A holding pattern is published in lieu of a 

procedure turn.

4. Conducting a timed approach. 

5. The procedure turn is not authorized (absence 

of a procedure turn barb on the plan view).

Standard procedure turn limitations: 

1. Turn on the depicted side. 

2. Adhere to depicted minimum altitudes. 

3. Complete the maneuver within the district 

specified in the profile view. 

4. Maneuver at a maximum speed not greater 

than 200 knots (IAS).

A holding pattern, in lieu of a procedure turn, may be specified for course reversal in some procedures: the holding pattern is established over an intermediate fix or final approach fix. The holding pattern distance or time specified in the profile view must be observed. Maximum holding airspeed limitations apply, as set forth for all holding patterns. The holding pattern maneuver is completed when the aircraft is established on the inbound course after executing the appropriate entry. If cleared for the approach prior to returning to the holding fix, and the aircraft is at the prescribed altitude, additional circuits of the holding pattern are not necessary nor expected by ATC. If pilots elect to make additional circuits to lose altitude or to become better established on course, it is their responsibility to so advise ATC upon receipt of their approach clearance.
