How can you position for straight in approach when it is outside the criteria unless you are visual all along and abandon the NPA and ask for visual approach well before the minima? There will be some issue like terrain clearance if the final track is off set by 30 or forty degrees. You cannot position from anywhere to land straight in. It is a mockery of the PANS OPS procedure.
