The pre approach assessment is that of the risk in the plan depending on what is seen (or not seen) and judged as a justifiable course of action - what if this doesn’t work out.
It’s a judgement - yours and should not assume too much about anyone else’s involvement including the operational pressures such as a busy airport.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.
If you approach it as something “you’ve done it many times before” then that attitude is wrong.
If you approach it as a challenge unique to that set of circumstances then you’re simply being a professional.
By doing this you develop a skill set.
