Default Is the 200ft below Min Finish Height Rule Working?

Well we've certainly come a long way from the "plea for a 500' finish".

Guys: it's a MINIMUM finish height. If you feel you need 1200 agl to be safe (there are days like that at some sites), you plan accordingly.

The story from 18s last year is bizarre. Anyone so focused on hitting MFT at minimum speed that they subsequently discover their airport arrival, pattern, sequencing and landing is compromised is just being irresponsible. If your airport arrival planning suggests higher than MFH, you just better damned well do it. Absent a really silly high MFH, these are concurrent, not serial tasks.
