Certainly that information is not intended to be ignored as "purely academic and a bit meaningless."
I agree, but you were talking about angles from the Mapt (CEYAG) to the threshold.
That is purely academic. If a pilot needs to get out his calculator to work out the approach angle for 2400ft AGL at 2.6nm from the threshold I strongly suggest you keep away from him.
But the Challenger is Category D, so there are no circling minimums.
So I assume all those nice shiny Cat D speed machines shown parked on Goooogle Earth landed there with VMC below the MSA...
