Regardless of the type of approach you chose to fly your preflight planning should take into account questions as to whether the termination will be IGE or OGE.
Consult the RFM to determine a/c performance. If the pad is unfamiliar then plan for the worst case in the "best guess" prevailing conditions.
And on approach your ROD after the loss of translation lift should be well under control at around 200 feet per minute.
