I'm sure you remember the Delta guy who creamed his gear off on such an approach.
By "such an approach" in the context of your message I presume you mean a visual (?)

He was flying the ILS 13 in lousy weather; low ceiling and minimum RVR. The ILS was offset in those days. As a result of that accident the ILS 13 is no longer offset.

Remember the US Air that ended up mired in the approach lights?
