Not hard to get into trouble especially if you are a true believer in company fuel policy. Personally I spent most of my career ignoring it WA.
most airfields in WA now have a thing called AWIS and LNAV/ VNAV RNP approaches. This is pure and simple, plan the flight correctly, monitor weather enroute, fly an approach if legally able to do so, and divert whilst you have enough fuel. Simples!
