At least you KNOW that some far flung destination will have a non precision approach. You don't have to accept third world standards in the USA. An airport this size not having a radar fix on approach heights is unbelievable.
Incorrect. Never met anyone who gets 'embarrassed' about a go-around. Keep in mind that I get paid by the minute, as well.
I think I see why the Aviation Herald was having a problem with your posting. This drivel is wrecking an otherwise productive safety discussion.
