Hear hear.

There's no reason for the risk exposure. To put it another way: Once my engine is shown to be as reliable as gravity, I'll start flying three degree approaches for no special reason also.

Until that happens though, I'll carry on flying my approaches in a safer and more challenging/interesting/safer way than a cruise descent all the way in. In fact, even if my engine became as reliable as gravity I still wouldn't as it would remove one of the safest and yet most rewarding challenges in flying; touching down on the numbers from a glide approach.
