Looks pretty Windy down there. Because of the topography of the island there are very strict wind limitations for starting the visual
approach. Even with good visibility and cloud base, if they anticipate go arounds due to turbulence they will only have one aircraft on the visual approach for runway 05 to avoid conflicts with aircraft going around and aircraft on the down wind leg.
