Said blackout the highway and install REILs (2 strobes at the threshold). Outrageous that pilots are expected to perform circling approaches in the 21st century. I believe ICAO rates it something like a 3500% increase in CFIT risk over an ILS. If you can't make it on a straight-in non-precision, suggest you divert to alternate. Messing around circling is like flying through TS, probably gonna make it but one day its gonna bite your ass. The good public deserve a better deal.
thank heavens for D.
Give me a friggin bone!
