I have flown this approach into Martinsville, VA at night in low (under
1000 ft). in a twin. You are flying at the mountains into a "box" canyon
type area. If you do the missed in-correctly you will hit the mountains.
The pucker factor was high.

If that approach gives a pucker factor then I suggest you get some more
training.


Me thinks you were not there that night, so keep your degrading opinions
to your self.

And methinks that if you have trouble with that approach then there is a
problem. Why is there a problem with that approach? It is not difficult.
Are you saying it is? I did not intend to be degrading, just that it is a
simple approach and if it gives someone reason to pucker then perhaps they
need more training to get confidence.

If perhaps you meant the puckering to be from other circumstances then I
cannot be held responsible as that was not stated in the original post. The
pucker statement immediately followed the part about flying the missed
incorectly. I can't see how it is difficult to follow the instructions on
that chart. That is all. if you choose to be offended that is not my
problem.
