I suppose if one was determined to do the ILS but not wanting the aircraft to be following any fluctuations(happens in Seattle as well), they could just use the V/S function while following the glideslope in general. Especially with the weather conditions being beautiful VMC, they could just be mostly visual. Back it all up by confirming 1600 feet when passing VH721, continuing at about 7-800 fpm, checking distance to go versus altitude continues to make sense along with the sight picture out the window.
