Well you must be a better pilot than most of the crews on the numerous diverts to Brisbane in the last 12 months from the GC.
I can only make a statement based on my experiences there and as I said, I didn't have to do an approach there very often. Maybe I was lucky and the other crews last year weren't.



And of course the stats on the increase safety of a ILS (or GLS) vs a non aligned approach aren't worth listening too, it would just be a waste of money.....
Again not my problem if the crews can't fly a VOR/DME approach accurately enough. I didn't find them difficult at all, in any aeroplane.




A few wheels short of a undercarriage in this case?
