I have experienced the very strong updraft on the north side turning final but expect the downdraft on the south side would be about the same. Maybe now they have the 02 VOR DME approach approved again but when I retired we needed the NDB bearing for final step down.
They also now have RNP AR approaches to both runways for those who can do those. The RNP AR to Runway 20 is pretty good, but the one to Runway 2 is what I would call an RNP to visual conditions; not exactly what RNP AR is supposed to do.
