ryr memo, ndb rwy 01 gse

hello founder,

i am glad for your understanding.
the extra workload for this ndb approach is enhanced by the short/steep final approach leg & ryr sops that have us to start reconfiguring the aeroplane for landing, 2nm from the faf, in a very precise sequence.

in marginal wx, it can be a challenge, eg: mini rvr required=2000m. at 600ft mda(540ft agl) your distance to the rwy= 540/0.058=9310feet/6080= 1.5nmx 1852= 2835m. so at mda(no level flight allowed), we might well not see the rwy & a goaround executed.
ryr x wind limitations are a saga on its own when wet/slippery/contaminated rwy's are considered, but on a dry, 45m width rwy, it is 35kts ( boeing advisories are 36 kts) & autobrakes 2 mandatory for x wind in excess of 15kts.
