Crews should be aware that the instrument approach to runway 29 may direct them towards the temporary displaced portion of the runway. Crews are reminded of the following: Review all current NOTAMs and applicable approach procedures before operating into or out of KMSY. Pay particular attention to displaced thresholds, available landing distance, and construction-related changes to the runway environment. Exercise additional caution during nighttime and reduced-visibility operations. Understand that ATC cannot issue an ILS clearance for runway 29 due to NOTAM 07/013, which indicates the ILS glidepath is unserviceable. (ATC can issue an LOC clearance).
