Right again - but that presumes the CFI understands the TERPS criteria
used to design the approach. Most do not. Nor would they need to, if
the PTS was written in such a way as to match TERPS. But it's not.
This is disfunctional. The PTS should be written in such a way that,
as a very minimum, it would not be possible to meet PTS standards on a
properly designed approach with properly working equipment and still
slam into an obstruction. It's not that hard.

I agree completely. The PTS is written by a different FAA than the FAA
that writes TERPs. Sadly, it will never change.
