PJ - I think we cleared GulfCaptain's confusion up a few days back.
a left-hand start to the CTL procedure,

(airport to the left) may be preferred


Regarding "authorities' duties" - it seems to me that the P authorities provided a perfectly safe, well-tried and used procedure to land on 12 from a 30 approach. Quite safe if flown properly - mitigation complete? If, for whatever reason, someone then cocks that up, who's fault is that? If they, for whatever reason, decide not to spend money on an IAP for 12, to me the only criticism you can lay at them is that they were too mean with money.
