From the Visual Approach Chart (post #22), Mitsamiouli is on a direct line (straight final) into RWY 20, over the distant hills to the north of the threshold (see video of approach into RWY 02, post #69).
Today 21:47
So, the procedure is to fly to the VOR, down the length of the runway then round the 'racetrack' to make a curving right hand to final as Pilotboyy said earlier. I guess the heights are in metres?? (my French is 'merde')
So, the question is - why did they come down in the water so far north of the island. Wrong QNH/QFE?
