cpnpc - you seem slightly obsessed about the procedure being from LS (blackrock) to LS (blacksod).

Why would a company that doesn't do lighthouse transfer work and can't land the S-92 at Blackrock because the LS is too small, have a procedure to go from Blackrock to Blacksod?

We all agree the procedure is poor and that they didn't need to descend to 200' until much later in the route but it isn't a VFR procedure - why on earth, if you were VMC and coming from the East, would you fly 10 miles West past your intended LS (Blacksod) ?

It is quite clear it was intended as a poor weather/night procedure - just not well written or depicted on the page.
