Just a simple question - why can't we go from "Spudo" DCT to the FAF instead of via an arc? I have yet to encounter traffic so busy at Perth to in fact (appear) to require the complexity and number of prescribed arrival procedures. It would seem to me to be ijn line with the general principle of "why make a simple job difficult wheh with a bit of thought and effort we could make it bloody near impossible" that pervades Australian aviation philosophy. NOTE - Philosophy, NOT practice. In practice Aussies are in my direct experience practical, accomplished, and decent pilots, to man/woman. It is the bureaucracy/complexity of the "system" I am querying.
