Narrative:

First time flying the lda DME runway 28R approach. I feel that the workload is high. The turn toward final approach course at the map is too much of an intercept angle, result is tendency to overshoot final approach course in front of aircraft on parallel approach. Bay approach control did not set us up properly for the approach. We were too high, and too close when cleared for approach, result was overshoot onto lda final course, and a rather steep approach to be able to be at minimums at the map. If WX had been IMC, we might have been forced to abandon the approach. I will be very reluctant to fly this approach in IMC.

Title: SFO LDA RWY 28R APCH EVALUATION.

Narrative: FIRST TIME FLYING THE LDA DME RWY 28R APCH. I FEEL THAT THE WORKLOAD IS HIGH. THE TURN TOWARD FINAL APCH COURSE AT THE MAP IS TOO MUCH OF AN INTERCEPT ANGLE, RESULT IS TENDENCY TO OVERSHOOT FINAL APCH COURSE IN FRONT OF ACFT ON PARALLEL APCH. BAY APCH CTL DID NOT SET US UP PROPERLY FOR THE APCH. WE WERE TOO HIGH, AND TOO CLOSE WHEN CLRED FOR APCH, RESULT WAS OVERSHOOT ONTO LDA FINAL COURSE, AND A RATHER STEEP APCH TO BE ABLE TO BE AT MINIMUMS AT THE MAP. IF WX HAD BEEN IMC, WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN FORCED TO ABANDON THE APCH. I WILL BE VERY RELUCTANT TO FLY THIS APCH IN IMC.
