Personally I think doing it at all is pushing most peoples' luck too far from some of the handling skills I have seen.

Someone mention night? Are you saying you will not die at night with an 'uncontained fire'? If it needs doing, it needs doing night or day, vis and cloudbase permitting. We do, of course, climb to circling altitude, dont we, since we will be out of sight of the runway? Don't forget, then, to keep it inside 1.7nm for Terps.

You probably guess I'm not really in favour........................
