.....under IFR involves an IAP downwind to the opposite runway then a visual break to fly a low level circuit, often just under the cloudbase, to land into wind, then where on earth is the problem with visual approaches when you can see for miles?
Ah ha, you see the paradox, NorthSouth...there really isn't any, and yet, many of those same pilots who clamor for that visual approach on a nice sunny day are the very ones who think that low circling with a large jet is somehow not all that appropriate.

Yeah, perhaps these folks should stick to the instrument approach, landing straight in...
