Had you reported the field in sight?




no




Airport elevation is 73', meaning that a ridiculous descent of 1150
ft/min at 90 kts would have been required to get to the MDA of 920 at
the MAP if we had been flying the VOR-C.


But you weren't flying the VOR-C, you were flying a visual. Right?
The VOR is the FAF and the VOR is 8.9 miles from the runway threshold.
If you were still four miles outside the VOR you were 12.9 miles from
the runway 28 threshold. At 90 knots GS that's a descent rate of
just 460 fpm all the way to touchdown.


Sorry, I was unclear. I meant 4 miles from the VOR, but on the airport
side, i.e. about 4 miles from the airport.
