In my old Company the problem was at 3.3 degrees you were unable to couple up and had to hand fly the approach (heaven forbid). This change will allow a coupled approach to a lower minimum. If I remember correctly, it was slightly downhill and always very slippery when wet. On take-off it was always a hoot watching the landing lights at night disturbing the toilet habits of the locals. One place I do not miss.
