Thank you everybody for all the contributions. Now I’ve downloaded the VOL 2 of 8168 and I have the check it carefully. Like Oggers said my first question was solved at the beginning but I think it’s confusing to have two different meaning for the same expression “straight-in app”.


Anyway,

Like Peekay4 said the track intercepts the runway after the threshold so you have to move the aircraft visually to align with the runway, that it's why it's circle-to-land and not straight in app (because doesn't meet the requirements). Like VOR's in Nice are circle-to-land (according to my FMS and my charts) and you have to follow the VPT (prescribed track to align with the runway) or like Mostar (LQMO - VOR 34). There is any definition for "straight-in landing"?.

And if you compare the charts for LGSR and LGTS with the VOR in LQMO, the Greeks don't said that the app is for a specific runway and the VOR in Mostar say that it's for runway 34, why this?
