Yeh, Brad.
Nothing like positioning high downwind over the sea at Paphos and disengaging all the automatics.
Follow this with a nice curved approach to intercept at about 3 miles and stabilise for 5-600ft.
Saves stacks of time and the passengers apparently love it 'cos they can see the airport most of the time.
Keeps the handling skills up to speed as well. Nothing wrong with it at all.
Doesn't anybody actually fly any more ?
