Glofish, thanks so much! This helps tremendously.
So if this form of VFR backup is readily available, why isn't it SOP? Is it the pilots personal preference or varies airline to airline?
Again this may be stupid, but it seem that other than the time to enter an extra waypoint, the only other problem possible would be last minute changes- ie, if we're VFR and controller moves from us LRWY to RRWY, the final waypoint doesn't line up-
But that would be the exception and most of the time the magenta line would still support what we are seeing?
Thanks again-
