hello ...
i have been recently to a very basic airport...this airport have only two approach plates ...one is the ILS 31 and the second one is the VOR/DME 31.
at the time of arrival there ...the wind was 170/15 ....so the tower said it will be self positioning for rwy 13 .
...rwy 13 has no charts ...and on the ils 31 + V/D 31 charts there is no circling minimum .
so what i did is that...(on the A320 )...
we were coming straight (on the airway) to runway 31 (so lucky..:} ) ...i made a way point which was 5 miles before the ils ...then another waypoint which was 2.5nm abeam the ils 31 threshold...and a waypoint 2.5nm abeam the threshold for rwy 13 (landing rwy)...then a waypoint ahead by 5 nm ..then a turn to final.
so it is like a visual approach circuit...and i descnded to 1500 AGL ...
so the question is...is what i did a 100% correct...or is there any suggestions ?
thanks....
