That would be tremendous overkill, extremely time-consuming and expensive.

was hoping someone here would be able to help. It's a bit like suggesting

You seem to forget that the purpose of approach plates is to help do
instrument approaches while flying an airplane. Yes, it can be time
consuming and expensive, but it's the price of actually flying.

Surgeons in general don't use a lot of aspirin, but of course that's another
subject about which you know little.
