Ok for small props but NOT jet traffic, let alone your machine.

Let me guess--you have been flying for an airline that 1. didnīt permit hand-flying, 2. didnīt permit circling approaches and 3, didnīt permit visuals.

Personally, I do not like making the turn in the valley, it is just narrow, so I overfly St Moritz, enter the parallel valley, descending, make two left turns with the valleys and voila--about a 6 mile final. Tell the pax in advance, so they can enjoy the view and it is a non-nail-biting event.
