Hello everyone,
The pax season is coming again so I'm reviewing my approach charts for some "unfamiliar" airports of our network.
One thing is bugging me: Why is a straight-in landing not authorized on this approach:

The reasons I know for not authorizing a straight-in are: an offset of more than 30° or a slope greater than 400ft/NM. This isn't the case so there must be something else I'm missing.
It could be because a landing is simply not authorized on the 34 but then why is the approach made in that direction then?
Any of you care to have a look at it?
(I hope it isn't something so obvious that I missed...)
Thanks in advance.
