It’s not a tough approach. People, or SOP’s, make it a tougher. It’s fun when done correctly.
The next time you’re in the departure lineup for 13R but DYMHL in the fix page and watch the good, and bad, arrvals flown to 13L cross checking with the TCAS. Observe, analyze, then implement on your next arrival. It can be a head shaking experience to observe.
EK 207 was VFR. VMC. Ten miles visibility. They probably could see the entire airport from ASSALT.
Want to make it simple? Cross CRI at 1500’. Start down at 50-100’ FPM. Follow the ground track. At approx 1000’ you’ll pick up the VASI. Transition to a normal visual using the VASI.
The TCAS and visual eye observation will show many US pilots do two continuous descents -
1. CRI to picking up the VASI
2. VASI ‘on glide path’ to impact (landing for some).
Remember crosswinds separate the men from the boys. Have fun.
