I’m assuming there’s no ILS on this runway ? Non precision approach followed by a visual segment with a short runway ahead soon sorts out the automation managers from the Pilots. Too many people rely on disconnecting the autopilot at the minima with the aircraft perfectly positioned for landing, drift angle and descent rate already set for them.
Taking away the guidance and asking some people to judge it by eye and seat of the pants seems to be asking too much. Definitely tea and biscuits with the fleet manager followed by a simulator session or two.
