I recall my Pacific days when approaching DAN from HAN I'd
either do a wide left circuit for a visual on 35R, or just go over
the top for the full procedure. A wide circuit in that the island
to the NNE was a pain in the butt for the GPWS (737) during
a visual - damn thing would start yelling its head off causing
the FO to have to reach down and flick it off.
As for the topic I dunno - VN has traditionally tended to pick
on people who are undesirables. Any more to this story that
doesn't meet the eye?
