Where have I stated that?, there is though don't put yourself in an increased risk position.

Sometimes there is an acceptable risk because of the gain ie instrument training or instrument approach in IMC. The learning of instrument flying and the added safety of the instrument approach in IMC outways not doing a normal SEP approach which is steeper than 3 deg.

Alot of airports these days have significant built up areas with problematic places to do a forced landing in the under shoot. Flying a 4 mile 3 deg approach for no other reason than I want to pretend to be an airline pilot isn't showing good PIC risk assement.
