Watching guys fly the VOR 13L brings about endless amusement to the departing traffic lined up on taxiways P or Q. Nothing like looking at the TCAS and wondering what folks are doing at 400-600' when the minimums are 800' and they're 3.8 miles from the runway?
Trust me, it's much easier if you cross CRI at 1500', stay pretty clean, gradually configure, and start a continous descent from approx. 1200' AGL.
Couple of weeks ago we're watching a 747 doing the 1200-1300' level, clean longer than usual, approach - "look, one of the foreigners has figured it out." Nice job, rolling out on final with continous descent....Kalitta Air 747. "Never mind, it's a U.S. carrier."
Last time I flew the VOR 13L in IFR conditions was 8-10 yrs ago, and I'm based there.
