Well respected reply.

But again, you can’t deny a visual pattern because a procedure doesn’t have circling minima.
I agree with you that there is some leeway for conducting an instrument approach with a visual break (be it IFR or VFR). It's not an uncommon procedure in the US and have done it myself. But that was iin a Cessna and I was familiar with the area.

Kerkira in a 737 or similar, I am not so sure I'd do it on paper. Though I guess it depends on what you see out window. There and then.
