Tilnextime: sorry, I had to look up "bemoaning", despite my LPE level 6 endorsement.
But you are right. And I don't bemoan the visual approach at SFO, or anywhere else for that matter. It is a routine maneuver.
What's next? The canarsie approach under review? Or the short lineups that I get offered regularly at schiphol? Or the turn towards final at Nice in southern France?
Nah. You must be able to do it otherwise you are simply not worth the salary.
