Kaptin M,
CNS 33 now has a nice shiny LLZ, but the bureaucrat dickwits didn't bother putting a DME on the threshold on probably the most difficult approach for heavies in Oz! No wonder crews not conversant with non-precision wiffodills have trouble with it, having to apply a minus 800ft profile correction to have any idea about what they're doing.
Dick should be ranting about that and therefore make a positive contribution to air safety here.
