If the IAP leaves you so high and close you need to fly a 360 around the airport to land, isn't it a poorly designed approach to say the least?
Practically I can do stuff like this all day long in a 172 that can turn circles over the airport property, but a 121 jet flight??? In the USA this would likely be against the airline's opspec anyway.
