VOR approach SMO
Once inside BEVEY you're good for 680. There is no glideslope and it's "Dive
and Drive." That's why the pros make it in with no trouble, they can read charts. Karl Karl "Hamish Reid" wrote in message ... In article , "karl gruber" wrote: I see no problem with the weather 800/3 as you point out. Inside BEVEY drive down to 680 outside CULVE, and have 3 miles to descend 505 feet. Any jet will do that all day long. So you'd drop below 1120 *outside* CULVE? Even if you were just cutting things a little fine, the 2.4 miles from CULVE is from the *far end* of the runway you're landing on... and if you were descending below 1120 just inside BEVEY in IMC, you might be in more trouble than you'd like.
