American Airlines 757 flight #1753 from Charlotte to St Maarten was forced to do a very late go-around in extremely poor visibility.

Looks as if she was (slightly) below the glide.......

There is no ILS at SXM... Not below glidepath, I think the last gust was the reason for the go-around. View on the surface was acquired just before decision height, so basically a safe approach IMHO.

If there's no ILS, there's also no decision height..... An RNAV approach with vertical guidance has an MDH.... :wink:

Yeah, OK, you are totally right. Is there a published RNAV procedure somewhere?

Does not appear to be publicly available (no sight of Netherlands Antilles AIP), but the RNAV (GNSS) 10 is AVAKI at 2600ft, from 5.9 nm out descend to 1700ft. by LESOR and then onward to MAPON (MDA).

Even in Dutch this would appear to be jibber-jabber to me ;-)
