BEagle;

The arrival from the North is off Honiley with a reasonable rate of descent, but it does put you at around ten miles closing the localiser. If you fly the procedure from the OX the turn is at 6.5D. At 160kt the arc of turn will take you out to around 8.2D at 1800'

I recently flew the SATCO on a TRUCE trip which was my IRR, SATCO saw just how far out that turn takes you and how close you can get to WotG while in the hold.

No airfield is perfect and none can have perfect procedures, but EGTK does its' best to accomodate everyone, why can't we as a community try and accomodate the airport by just letting them know where we are?
