But, in essence you are clearing me direct-to-the-FAF. This is not an en
route fix or even an IAF or earlier. Only in limited circumstances are
you allowed to clear me direct to an RNAV IF. I certainly don't see how
you can make me cross a FAF unless you have correctly placed me on the
IAP.


It's easy. "Cessna 1GS, proceed direct ROYCE, expect visual approach runway
12R."
