Is it me or the thread missing the part that says you should most importantly stay within the speed limits prescribed at the given stage of approach, lest you aim to loose much more than just the piloting skills? Mostly applicable at "B" limited approaches where modern turboprops could easily overshoot any arc by a great margin in initial stages.

Also funny are the visual maneuvering radii at Greece, surprisingly about half of what you'd expect (based on TERPS, are they not?)

FD.
