So, VSA is undocumented controller slang for a visual approach, derived from some no longer used manual technique??

(Out of curiosity, what did it originally stand for?)

Whilst talking about 11 opinions..............

If I am told to track for a 5 mile final, where do you expect me to go?

Obviously to a point on the extended centreline, but which one?

5 DME?
5 Miles from the runway threshold?
5 miles from the touchdown zone?
5 miles from the ARP?

Answers with appropriate references please.
