Haven't flown that approach in well over fifteen years, anyone got a copy of the appraoch plate?
IIRC, the beacon is just short of the threshold for 26(?). With a non precision system minimum of 500' agl, plus any required company add on, a continuous descent profile would leave you to high to get in on a standard 3deg. slope if cloudbase was at minimums. (3deg is 300'/nm so the beacon would have to be about 1.6nm from the threshold for a 3deg slope). Of course if the cloudbase is well above 500' agl, then you can continue to descend visually and have time to make sure you're aligned with the runway. Along time ago, but I seem to recall that locally based pilots were much more adept at it.
Ndb approaches to 08 were always much more interesting, due to afore mentioned cliffs, coastal effect etc etc. Real challenging stuff.
