I'm not sure there's a pilot on here advocating that an ILS should be mandatory, in fact I'm in total agreement that the ability to fly a visual circuit should be not only taken as granted but practised when possible. But I fail to see how ignoring SFO's penchant for leaving heavy's hot and high and the FAA's general view that in good weather aids are a bonus does any of us any good!
SFO atc has been the first part of my Threat brief for some time, ive felt there's been an accident waiting to happen there for some time, if there's a cultural problem here it's not all in seoul!
