getting back to the question, in some planes you might not be able to fly this approach well, easily and legally.

it is important to note the arrows after the MAP indicating that this portion of the approach is visual reference.


as a practical matter if you didn't have the runway in sight about 8 miles from the runway, you might not get in with an easy, stable approach. IF you did have the runway in sight you would have to continue descending below the MDA to maintain the stable approach criteria.

So, if you stayed at the MDA to the MAP and then WENT FOR IT, you would have to get CREATIVE in your flying. Or just enter the traffic pattern from the overhead and circle to land if too high.

This is the country of the bush pilot and he could probably get in just fine while eating a ham sandwich and telling a joke about a Kodiak bear and a fisherman's daughter.
