I wish I could be sent direct to MONDI, provided it is at a angle and
altitude
similar to a vector provided in accordance with 7110.65, 5-9-1.

And, the mighty chiefs at Air Traffic headquarters have been working on
such a
handbook provision, which may come out this year, but only for RNAV
approaches. Ground based approaches would be be permitted this option per
the
decision of one of the senior AT managers.

It is not a question of me being happy, it is a question of procedural
limits
that are established by FAA management (usually, but not always, with good
reason).


FAAO 7110.65 para 5-9-1. is not applicable to the situation under
discussion.
