I know I said "a little off topic" but the responses to my post are turning out to be Way off topic.
What I meant was we are not allowed to plan into OCTA/no controller airspace/airfields. Many of the pilots I fly with only and have only ever flown within controlled airspace, under radar and ILS to ILS. So, visual approaches are very rare and so having to try to cope with OCTA procedures is a non-starter.
Can it be done? Of course. Can it be done well? Perhaps. Are they the procedures of choice? No!

Enough said. I am sorry I mentioned it.
