My 100 fills worth.....In todays fast moveing and increasingly dense traffic enviroment it appears most posters here are not totaly clear on this matter?
If this is a true reflection of most pilots and controllers then this is dangerous.
It also appears that these rules are different in various parts of the world.
So I ask...Have we not now talked up a good case for keeping it simple and safe by sticking with our IFR clearances and any radar service provided?
Is it better not to being suckered into an invitation to a DIY approach to a landing and waveing away all our backup service?
I note aircraft opting for an expedited visual straight in, self intercept of part of a procedure,etc etc are still landing at wrong airports, on wrong runways, getting into difficulties on black night approaches and crashing.
Do you not feel you will be poorly placed at the subsequent enquiry if you are still alive and got the visual wrong?
