Simply pointing out that isn’t a visual approach exactly that, visual?
For clarification I’m not nitpicking the incident that was originally posted if that’s the context you took, I didn't read the report. I’m just responding to John citizens post.
Just look at the other end of the runway for a routinely flown visual joining very close in with a Vert offset. (LizziV)
It's easy, because you're prepared, set up for it and you've thought about it.
Accepting visuals involving track shortening when already close in is a different kettle of fish. A simple setup in the fmgc is my preference for a basic distance to go and DME is king but an approach starts before the IAF, same for a visual - you've gotta get yourself into the right spot first
