Recently I had to fly the NDB approach for Rwy 21 in Lanzarote ACE. With the new procedure they skipped the requirement for daylight to start the approach. During my approach in daylight and broken clouds just above the Min of 2300ft, I turned on rwy-track just as the approach course intersected the extended centerline(about 1200ft in the profil) and thereby passing a hill just 500m to the right, same hight and exactly on the PAPI.
I figured that during the same approach during night I would have wanted to join the centerline a bit earlier to be established early on the quite steep descent. The hill I would then probably run into is not charted.
So I would mandate a ban again for this approach during night. Any comments on that or does your company have a voluntary ban for this approach after SS or is it me, the only chicken?
