An exception to "no turns on short final" would be the approach to Rwy 19 at Washington National Aiport KDCA. All approaches to this runway involve a 20-degree turn one mile from the runway. About 40% of all arrivals to the airport use this approach, and it has been essentially unchanged for a number of decades. The airport has a total of roughly 300 arrivals per day.
