PALAU NOT FOR WIMPS

Its completely irrelevant who you actually work for.If you happen to operate a 767 of some kind, AA, AAA , MEGA, et al, then you have to confront the reality, at some stage, of flying into PALAU either in daylight (preferred) or at night.There are NO APPROACH LIGHTS, NO ATC, NO ILS, its a black hole thingy.The breeding ground for all those TRSs in the news is PALAU.The weather can and will become horrific for hours and hours and hours I CAN ASSURE YOU Sir!! (30 years experience).You better have fantastic flying skills to get in with massive winds, low visibility, heavy rain etc etc, without undershooting or worse running off the end.Its not important what type of approach you use because the weather is the same for all.Good luck.
