ATIS - that OEB is there - at least we had it on the 320 but now removed.

regarding the conditions in Libya - we fly there very often. Runway 27 is preferred.
Rwy 09 is a dual locator approach, when most new airbuses only have one ADF reciever!

Hence as someone correctly said, its 99% of the time a visual approach without any problems.

If on that 1% you also get RWY09 with visibility at minima, then it becomes a death trap, especially if the crew is not up to standard.

God bless their souls.
