The dumbest pilot wouldn't do those procedures in visual conditions hopefully.
Again,professional pilots wouldnt put all their faith in visual cues,it could end up just an illusion,visual cues may not guaranty performance at such airports.
If Bogota(never flew there but flew INN) does have so many missed approaches,there must be a reason...
INN for example,a speed in excess of 156 kts would end up busting the turn radius and getting closer to firma granita and a visual at higher speed and bit of tailwind may well end your day and your pax.
I wonder how many bells and whisltes came on while you were flying...but again this is probably acceptable to your view of thinking.


However, NO-ONE can eyeball a limiting OEI departure in a critical terrain environment - the subtended angles are too shallow for reasonable human perceptual considerations (I may be on suspect strict physiological/psychological ground there ?
Exactly what i meant.
