I experimented a lot with AI landing in Ardennes airfields when making the BoF map.
The AI approaches the airfield and enters the airfield circuit. When moving around the circuit it will gradually lose height to approach the runway at the correct altitude. If the circuit swings out over a valley the apparent increase in height will make the AI think it has lost the approach envelope so it redirects to the start of the circuit again.
On one airfield I had to change the direction of the runway a bit and adjust the ground levels under the approach circuit so that the AI aircraft would not lose the approach path. It still meant that large aircraft like the JU52 could only land in one direction, while the smaller aircraft were able to land in both directions.
