I’m a bit confused. I just looked at the approach plates for both 02 and 20 at Toncontin (Jeppesen 2006 vintage). Both show straight-in approaches. 02 flies 198 from the VOR descending from 9000 to a procedure turn at 8,000 with an 8 mile final heading 018. Yet, if you look at the You Tube video’s they show aircraft making a 90 degree left turn to a very short final when using 02. Can those who have piloted aircraft into the airport clarify this for me please?
