More manoeuvring with Offset procedure

Jim

Do you have a diagram you could post showing the difference in visual manoeuvring required between the divergent and offset procedures? I could of course draw it for myself but 1) as you know, I am too lazy and 2) it might be interesting for others to see.

Is there a difference approaching MAPT as to where to look to see the installation, and would this affect the probability of seeing the installation and/or the ability of PNF to monitor the instruments?

roundwego, I think there have been few if any reported incidents on ARAs, however a night ARA to minima is a fairly rare event so we shouldn't be complacent (and not sure that reporting culture is particularly good at reporting what might be seen as "own fault" events)
