Simply pointing out that isn’t a visual approach exactly that, visual?
Not for me it's not. Sure, there's no instrument approach BS but it is still very much instrument-guided, especially if the FMS plan now doesn't match the shortened track, along the lines of A-Squared's "Seems like if you had a DME tuned to a station on the airfield and you were looking at the distance and thinking about whether you were at a reasonable altitude for the distance".
Pilots can no longer think in 3D.
That ALT SEL policy for visual approaches needs to change too.
