Dalaman is an interesting one. The issue is as much vertical as horizontal though - I have done it at various altitudes but the big issue is that at the typical high ISA deviations in summer you will see 4W on the PAPIs and have to plan and brief how you will correct the approach path. As long as you can maintain visual obstacle separation when and how you do it is surely up to you within any limits placed on you on the plate and in your ops manual.

The ability to identify these issues in advance and will plan for them is a key command skill. Issues like the IAN or VDEV in the bus being wrong once off the instrument approach are less likely to confuse your oppo if you have briefed what you are going to do and what indications you expect visually and on the cockpit instruments. However, as always experience is a wonderful thing, and asking colleagues is generally as if not more valuable than what’s written formally.
