I flew the Gloucester DME arc many times when doing my IR. A DME arc makes little difference whether ADF or VOR to be honest. AS long as you know where the ground reference is the technique is the same.
pumper, did you do this as part of an IMC or an IR? With the limited time available to an IMC you would probably not be taught the finer points of a lot of obscure procedures. With 55hrs to kill in an IR we had plenty of time to do all sorts of odd stuff!
The half the wind that IO540 mentions works perfectly. I often practice holds and use the GNS430 to fly them but estimate the wind on the half wind=drift and it never comes out wrong.

Quite right and after 40 years I have learned that
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Never Assume - CHECK!
Something about grandmothers and sucking eggs!
Never mind, they say you will learn something every day in aviation, and it seems you just have!
