As one who flies an Airbus into BIO on a regular basis, I can confirm Rubik101's experiences of this airport. It really needs to be treated with respect, especially when the wind is gusting from the south! Even when the wind is calm on the ground, 10-15 kts from the south can cause some amazing rotor effects during the initial decent.

All in all, I think he did quite a good job to get that close to the centreline after the VOR Rwy 12....at BIO I think I may have been twiching as the gusts hit 30 kts!
