I don't understand; If you've got 15 gusting 23 from the North onto a 7700 foot 14, with possible snow issues, but 05 is available with 10,500, and 05 has recently been used, why would you use 14 ? Unless maybe you're coming from around 315 and have issues which make you prefer to go straight-in ??
Continued issues at this airport because neither the airport or Nav Canada will pay to install ILS approaches to all runways!! The airport would rather build shopping/parking while Nav Canada continues to hide behind "data" that there is not enough weather to demand it......Yet when the weather gets bad there are incidents....Nav Canada needs to be held to their original agreements with getting a monopoly on our ATC.
LOC/NDB only for runway 05 if I remember right? ILS for 14 & 32. Next time at coffee ask the question: if the wind is from the North at 15G23 and we use a LOC app to 05.........what is my projected rate of descent and timing to the MAP if the FAF is 4.6 DME from the threshold? OR let’s fly the ILS ‘cause we can get it stopped with this tailwind...can’t we? Sorry, bored today!
