I am very much with helimutt here - self-drive, non-approved GPS approaches are both stupid and selfish but people keep doing it because they get away with it.
They manage not to bump into any other air user on the way down through blind luck and belief in the 'big-sky' theory and convince themselves that their technology (GPS) and superiority as pilots, make it a safe option.
But it's OK because it's what the customer wants
