Yeah, well the truth is that most FDAP events at CX result from visual approaches. And that is in visual conditions, so makes sense that they would prevent the same behavior in more challenging IFR circling weather.

A 400 passenger jet has no business yanking and banking at minimums to stay within protected area. Just like it has no business flying 75year old NDB approaches, which is why Boeing has removed the ADF. They are worthless anyway with all their inherent errors.
