"lance smith"
Even though I'm just VFR I've been there many times and 100 OVC is dangerously low. AVX is on the top of two mountains (they chopped of both tops and filled in the gap between) and cloud conditions can change minute by minute. It's low but "cloud conditions can change minute by minute" could be a reason to give a try. But one would *expect* the miss. No runway lighting, a cliff on each end, and mountains to the south. It's worse than that. The instrument approach is aimed directly at the mountains to the south. It is not aligned with the runway. airnav has a nice picture of 22 on final AVX: http://www.airnav.com/airport/KAVX Thanks for the pic. I was wondering what it looked like. I see why so many like to go there.
