Pay Time

A full ILS approach adds about seven minutes to a straight in visual. Think of all the wasted time, fuel, money for the company. But also think of all the additional pay time for the pilots.

Sometimes the stated reason for a full ILS - Safety - is just an excuse to bring home more moolah at the end of the month.
