Sorry, Denti - I think you have missed the whole point!
There are other airports that have visual approaches with prescribed tracks as well, for example LFMN. Dunno how you would see those under your cited presumptions.
- all 'new' RNAV 'circling' procedures would by definition be 'prescribed tracks'. 'Prescribed' in a DB and flown by the autopilot. That is the whole point. None of the examples you quote have any relevance to what is being discussed.
100% - likewise that is not what is being considered - that is simply a visual approach with 'preferred tracks' arranged to suit traffic flow, nothing else, and nothing like a current 'Terps circle" (
well outside the restricted area) and just would not be flyable under current 'circling' minima which is the whole point of an RNAV 'circle' as being discussed.
Is that the only visual option now in TLV for R26? I guess some see that as progress.............................
