737 800 PMDG flight sim!

I use PFPX its a flight planner, its the best available for flight simmers and it uses upto date airac cycle 1411

I'm planning a flight from EGGP to EPSC

EPSC rwy in use is 13 non ILS , there is only 1 ILS and thats rwy 31.

the wind direction from my online weather source is - 150/6 so the landing has to be rwy 13.

I read my NOTAMS

The ILS at EPSC Rwy 31 is unavailable till 18 Dec 14 according to the following NOTAM from here:

E2461/14 NOTAMN
Q) EPWW/QICXX/I /BO /A /000/999/5335N01454E005
A) EPSC 1409180000 C) 1412182359 EST
E) PROCEDURE EPSC ILS Z OR LOC Z RWY 31 (CAT A/B/C/D) (AD2 EPSC
6-1-1
AND AD2 EPSC 6-1-2) NOT AVAILABLE.
PROCEDURE EPSC ILS Y OR LOC Y RWY 31 (CAT A/B/C/D) (AD2 EPSC 6-1-3
AND AD2 EPSC 6-1-4) NOT AVAILABLE.



What i'm looking for is real experience on how to do this approach? I was thinking using rwy 13 because i would have a TW of only 6kts and thats under the 738 limitations.

Will i do a visual traffic pattern?

My FMS gave me these options for the approach onto rwy 31 maybe i could use one of these

Many thanks, vernon.
