Don't have to tell me that, I fly a 70 tonner Maybe all these non-precision approaches hark from a time when pilots were regularly hand flying approaches using the needles and had a better sense of when to go for it and when not to.

I like to think that the MAPt is merely the point where you begin the Missed Approach Procedure rather than the last point where you can get it in, you shouldn't need a MAPt to know that you're probably not going to get it in at say 0.5nm at 600ft
