Any commercial pilots in the Lounge? Am I paranoid? |

I've gotta fly from Lugano-Agno early Monday morning, with snow/rain in the forecast, to Geneva, and return at 7:30 p.m. the same day to Lugano-Agno Airport.
I've heard and read that our local airport's instrument approach is "challenging" because to the steep angle of descent, thanks to the geographic characteristics of our valley.
Lugano-Agno angle of descent: 6.65° Standard angle of approach: 3°
I hate-hate-hate flying in these little commuter planes, and I especially hate it at night, when there's rain/snow in the forecast.
Any commercial pilots out there who can calm me down????? :scared: :cry:
