The runway is very hard to see before you start the turn. It looks like a road in a built up area and during the few times I have flown the approach I have never felt comfortable. I can't comment on the MAP as It's a while since I last flew it.
The first time I saw it, the Captain took control for the approach even though it was my sector - he told me that I should see one done proprly before trying one myself. Well, I certainly learned a lot! The aircraft was at 45 degrees AoB with every GPWS warning in the system going off as we lined up with the runway. When I got a chance to fly it for myself the first time, I left it in LNAV and let the autopilot fly it. No dramas whatsoever. This was in a Boeing - I should think an Airbus managed approach would do it even better.
What a rubbish approach. On classic case of the NIMBYs erroding flight safety to an unacceptable degree.
