aterpster- "I would think an in-country air carrier, such as this one, would have all kinds of pointers and "gouges" for the CTL maneuver at the capital city's IAP-deficient airport."
I really hope not! This is suppose dto be a visual manouevre and no pointers and "gouges" should be used or ..we finish up possibly with the same accident all over again.
"A DME ARC certainly wouldn't be one of them. The geometry alone is bad, with the VOR being 2.2 miles SE of the approach end of Runway ("AER") 12."
Yes - I did not mention the DME arc in the first place - it was the reticent Meekal!
