Sight / Site
I still don't know what "sight picture" means. Would you ever say "hearing picture", "touch picture", "smell picture" etc? If not, the word "sight" is tautological. Calls should be designed to be clear and concise, not tautological. But if we just said "picture" it could mean anything - what we are trying to indicate is that we have the correct picture of the landing site.
Unfortunately for me Google returns 8 hits for "sight picture approach" and 1 hit for "site picture approach", however that doesn't necessarily mean site is right!
Never mind, it will all sound the same in the end...
