The a/c that I fly is particularly blind in a straight in final - the nose is sufficiently high at approach speed to allow a great view of the engine cowling - not the runway. Slipping it in 15 degrees off the extended centre line is the preferred option. Rolling wings level and performing a belly check ensures that you have agood chance of seeing anything on a long final.

Wind shear and gusty cross winds just add to the fun.
