No wind shear or adverse wind conditions, just low viz.
Apparently, although I haven't seen it, the ADS-B track shows lion descending at 700'/min at a stable 130 something knots, all the way down final to hitting the water.

Daytime. Approach in use was the VOR/DME 09. It's got a slightly offset final which crosses the extended runway centreline right about where they hit the sea.
Don't have the chart in front of me but I think the MDA is 400' something. LNAV/VNAV generally keeps you a touch high and when you do become visual, the sea spray can make the PAPI's difficult to see.
Only ILS is for Rwy27.

The deal? I pay THEM $21,000 for 500 hrs in their PIC program. There are other fees above the $21K. After a year you are possibly given hiring preference, and he chance to stay as a skipper for something like $36k a yr.
I have never responded to their invitations.
