I'm sure you're right...my comment ( if you're indirectly talking to me) was a generic one to address the concerns of those who seemed concerned or bemused by the lack of a electronically defined descent point or similar on the paperwork for what is by current standards a somewhat minimalistic procedure.

I don't disagree with you that in reality these days you'd up the automation a notch or two or three..even on something like the relatively steam driven "sans IANS" T7 you'd at least try find a suitable overlay or use runway extension and track in LNAV if you could, but have the needles displayed to confirm lateral tracking (you'd still need to know when it was legit to begin the descent down the slope though ).
