I just wanted to remind folks that the NTSB, following an airliner's serious incident doing the straight-in VOR to Hartford, Connecticut's (BDL "Windsor Locks") runway 15, partly blamed the FAA's terrain charting for the near-disaster. The jet's landing gear (and an engine?) went through some tree limbs and they barely made it from the hill to the runway. The FAA's charting criteria apparently was not conservative, and the approach was redesigned, was it not?
How much are you going to trust the FAA's circling criteria for an HAA, knowing that even a straight-in non-precision approach might not allow enough height over the terrain at the MDA?
