Haha! Well, not in the small charters companies in some African countries. You are free to fly the way you want. That was the beauty of bush flying. Obviously, these kind of extreme maneuvers would be done when operating with no passagers on board and only on occasional times when we were pushing it. My point is you don’t need to worry how fast, or how much you bank, if you have flaps or not etc... Just land on the runway and done.
On the A320 our Sop states to be stabilized by 1000 feet AAL, max VAPP + 20 when passing 1000 feet AAL, max 7 degres of bank, and so much more restrictions you have to think about making it quite a challenge.
Remove that and it’s pretty much as easy as flying a Cessna. Even easier, as you are 2 in the cockpit. Quite nice when ATC is high work load. = )
