There is one big difference between military and civil units though. Mil units have MATZ to protect their approaches, yes I know civil aircraft do not have to care, but lets be honest how often does this happen? That is REALLY bad airmanship.
What we have, is a fillet drawn on a map, that a pilot might not have seen. If his map is old might not even indicate that there is an instrument let down area there. I also rarely see these indicated for both runways even if there is procedures at both ends.
In fact these fillets do not even extend as far as most instrument procedures go.
