One in which the IAF and the FAF were the same waypoint. With no altitude
difference
until crossing the FAF inbound. So approaching at a right angle what's the
difference (well
other than the technical legal issue) if you turn left and go around the
track .. or turn
right and start decending? If you own the airspace at an uncontrolled
field
until you
cancel and there's no obstacle issues, I don't see a safety issue.

When you start making up your own rules, then it gets a little dangerous.
For one, you can get established on the FACourse further out with more
protection.


I don't think the tone of the thread is how to fly the approach exactly as
charted .. I
think it's whether people shortcut it on occasion.

Like not preflighting, or something like that? Sounds like a good plan to
me.
