EFB should remove invalid visual approaches like ‘R REV Teardrop’

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: visual approaches should be limited to real visual approaches and not encourage very bad practices like R REV Teardrop (crossing the pattern twice!?). Even the fly over “teardrop” entry is modeled incorrectly.

i have included the FAA example for the “teardrop” entry and would highlight the following critical elements: 1. Fly 2 miles PAST the pattern; 2. Then descend to pattern altitude; 3. THEN turn for a standard 45° downwind entry. Would be nice if the EFB entries modeled real world procedures.
