BOAC:

Cannot see the logic. Cat C could easily circle off the 08 VOR.
It wouldn't be the first time PANS-OPS has been tortured by a less than sterling procedures staff.

Aterp - need some assistance here - what is 'FN26' on the NDB proc and the '4.3' and 3 degree slope - are we looking at PRNAV?
That is an On-Airport, No-FAF NDB IAP. Jeppesen has coded a sensor FAF for LNAV (RNAV), thus FN26. They have also coded a 3 degree VNAV path from FN26 to a 50' thresold crossing height. It is 4.3 miles from FN26 to the threshold.
