It is always nice to see people's reactions to a certain idea, how some persons assume things , and how some completely forget about the main issue. Safety is first in aviation , we should always use all available resources and choose the best options at the time, the best option is the safest option, sometimes the only way to land an airplane is by a visual or a circling approach , so every pilot should be able to carry that perfectly and precisly,these days these approaches are included in recurrent training.Planning is the name of the game , when you go to a new destination you should study all options real well in order to eliminate the element of surprise, a good briefing will be a must before any approach . Don't push your luck for the sake of saving minutes or gallons of fuel , keep your crewmembers in the picture otherwise you'll be on your own and then you'll start coming up with excuses no body believes in.Stay ahead of the airplane at all times and never hesitate to go around if you are not stabilized,everyone knows his limits better than the others ,so respect those limits and stay away from troubles.Safe flights to you all and many happy landings.
