Another consideration is how you identify the MAP. For example, many MAP's are a VOR crossing, and I think you'll find in your training that many MAP's don't correlate with being lined up on the runway at all. We have a VOR approach at our airport where the MAP is actually at the departure end of the runway it is set up for. Very little chance of you landing off that one if you actually have to go all the way to the MAP. Just my $.02
