Could it be possible that there are times when the WX precludes landing. I think when I learnt to fly it was called an alternate or something like that.

GPS could provide RWY alignment, but the MDA will be the problem at CG; something an ILS won’t solve. Why are we not doing monitored approach when LVP in place?

arrrhh! Just use the VSD and put the trend vector on the threshold if you don’t want to divert. Perhaps a GCA approach from Brissy Approach? Hummm! We aren’t Air China or Korean yet are we? If you’re not visual at the MDA try once more then overnight at BNE. Simple.

I heard the guys had hit the TOGA's 3 times before getting in. Humm!! What would the pax be thinking? Anyway thats what an engineer told me, so I take it with a grain of salt.
