the most you are going to save is about 8-10nm
- PP - not always so - and it is not always just the time saved. I'm sure you have experienced the F/O who sails gayly past a CAVOK airfield (downwind right hand), frightened to try a visual, and settles for a 22 mile final ILS in nasty low-level turbulence? Saves a lot of sick bags
