I'm glad someone said this. I was completely baffled why they seemed not to be making best use of available computer navigation. It reads like they were flying in 1965 and not 2015.
Training flight, was it not? I recall when I first started on the A320 at a big UK operator my training folder had a big table with required items on it to complete during line-training, and one of them was a raw data non-precision approach in selected modes. Having said that I still cheat and glance at the calculated vertical profile from the FMS whenever I fly a non-precision or even a visual approach, provided it has something sensible loaded in it. I think it's vitally important that the FMS is loaded with what you expect to fly regardless of how you're going to fly it, whether that's the full procedure or just the runway extended centre line.
I hasten to add that I've not flown an NDB (timed) approach since I climbed out of the vile Seneca for the last time.
