Global Nav:
1. Non precision approaches, in spite of CDFA, are flown so infrequently that the level of proficiency and safety just is not equivalent to precision approaches. Therefore, we should equip aircraft with avionics that allow approaches and pilot procedures to instrument runways be as similar to ILS approaches as possible.
They probably were already so equipped had the elected the RNAV IAP to Runway 18 with a Baro VNAV advisory path.
I know the small airplane SBAS navigators provide an advisory SBAS generated advisory vertical path for the RNAV Runway 18. That, and PAPI, makes it a safe approach.
In any case runways like this one should have a tailored air carrier briefing page for Part 121 operators.
The dispatcher didn't do a sterling job either.
