No, NOR 112.60

RWY 28 must be used because a little Southern German politician with a huge ego made a big story about the intolerable incredible noise jets make 12 miles away from runway thresholds 14 and 16. He got elected. Sadly he got the attention from some other incompetent German politicians who also needed to get reelected and manadated a new tight and "demanding" approach regime for ZRH early morning and in the evening.

ZRH ATC unfortunately has no other choice than to offer you the steep approach to 28 or the Southern approach over densely populated city areas.
