Fair enough BOAC, but we could take this to ridiculous extremes, I was comparing a 'sensible' visual approach with about a 4nm final, to a 'sensible' radar vectored ILS which would be somewhere in the region of an 8-10nm final. My reply was to eight16kreug who reckons that flying the ILS adds 7 minutes over a visual, which I despute.
