Well if nobody is getting EGPWS warnings, nobody is getting close to terrain...

My point is that many approaches around the world are designed with terrain in close proximity, but are perfectly safe if given due respect. AP falls into this category.
Looking at the approach plate, you would need to be about 30 degrees off track to be in danger. Yes, there might be an initial error in picking up the inbound, but the approach axis takes this into account, and as you continue the approach, the error decreases. Or are you saying you could be 30 degrees off track with an "on-track" indication, at about three miles from the threshold?
I think we'll just have to agree to differ on this...
