AJ,



Using Vtoss or 50 kts LDP on an ARA approach at MAP 0.75 NM is asking for trouble in any OEI situations and I sincerely hope your instructors do not teach that? Of course you can do it, but try it in 50-60 kts wind. How stable is your aircraft then.
Why would one be at 50 KTS IAS in a 50-60 knot wind?

At least your rate of closure would keep you from running into the rig....but lack of fuel might become a problem.
