"On the Airbus just get rid of the ILS in the FMGS and select the visual approach. You now have the centre line plus a 5 mile fix and surprise surprise a green dot commonly called the "yo-yo" giving a visual 3 degree slope to touch down, provided the to wpt is either the 5 nm fix or the threshold."
What you just described there is kinda like a visual approach but using lots of technology such as an FMC, an ND and a computer generated glideslope.
I will give any one here 100 bucks to come tearing into a field for a 90 degree base leg cleared for a visual approach from 30 miles out in a 330 with the ND turned down, the DME turned off and the "yo yo" (never heard it called that before???) taken away by magic without busting a CTA step, sink rate rules, stable criteria AND without dragging it in too much by just using the window.
Like in a cessna!
