I guess the procedure is covering all types of aircrafts (from C152 to 380) in all types of environments (from Mbuji May Congo to JFK)

That's why the procedure still offer the option:
"in IMC or when the pilot of an IFR flight consider that VMC procedure is not appropriate"

So out of JFK, if you fancy green/red lights, flares and all the ****, you are given the choice to return in VMC or to continue.

Out of Mbuji May, same procedure. (Just don't wait too much for flares as they probably don't have some )
