A dead horse is being flogged here. The new rules are quite simple and very pilot-friendly: descend as the nice ATC clears you until you look out the window, without worrying about terrain, hop into the circling area or onto the VASI/GP and land. TFE. Pilots doing DGAs into Primary Controlled airports are an anachronism of the past.
Thanks, sums it up nicely, I'm happy to leave it at that. I got into this topic as in-depth as I did as I'm still on the front end of the experience curve as an IFR pilot, and this type of discussion is good if it doesn't get too ridiculous.
