Aim of the game
To get lined up with the runway at the minima without breaking the lateral boundaries and the vertical limits.
FWIW I use the GPS to stay inside the limits, stick rudder and power to stay above the minima which until you are lined up with the centre line is the NOT BELOW Limit until established on the centre line.
Timing> WTF timing its a visual eyeball manouvre not more no less
You are off the panel and eyeballing for the runway LOW and SLOW as we were taught in IFR school.
No square crap either you fly for the runway and stay within the circling limits out there to stop you hitting something..like maybe a crane or radio mast
Unless its night and thats different again
