Do it often enough and you could be the SKW crew. Do it in the days before EGPWS and the outcome won’t be good. I’d be real careful about accepting altitudes below “platform” which is the intermediate segment. There’s only 1,000’ ROC on the intermediate segment, potentially not much clearance. I never did unless I knew exactly where the terrain was; no harm staying a couple hundred feet high.
