Here: 40+ years of airline flying, thereof 24 on LH and ULH.
byllit, your answer is bs.
I almost fully agree with Obama57, although i would go further and say that if you can't execute a visual at a busy airport with marginal weather: Stay away from being an airline pilot! That's exactly one of the reasons you are still in the cockpit for!
You will not do that on every second flight, but you need to be able to do it and therefore you need to practice it every now and then.
I see too many young colleagues turn pale when i even only raise the idea of a visual. Brave new world!
