seems people are confusing cloud break procedure with PRA. Cloud break procedure was used a lot when I worked Ohakea sector (Military/Civil). Point the aircraft to the airfield and descended them according to radar terrain map and then within 10nm descended to 1500ft was authorised according to the 'book'. Was used as a way of getting aircraft on a visual approach. PRAs were discontinued many years ago and I don't believe any controllers in NZ would be current. PRA's were a controller talk down on equivalent of an ILS in todays terms. Cloud break procedure was from any direction.
