Roanoke Regional Airport/Woodrum Field (KROA) was featured in a recent issue of IFR Refresher because of it's LDA approaches and rugged surrounds. That LDA may come in handy, but perhaps not handy enough this morning. Currently KROA has low IFR (with a model index of 71) with winds from 150 at 4 knots, visibility 1/2 miles in light rain and fog. Overcast layer at 100. Winds favor runway 15, but the LDA is for Runway 6 and the only ILS approach is for Runwnay 33. Current pressure and density altitudes are 1175 and 4220 feet, respectively.
