"Creeping Jesus" Approach
I am wondering how this term arose, describing an approach where the aircraft doesn't intercept a point on final to fly a straight line to the threshold, but rather follows a tractrix to make an asymptotic path to the threshold.
Apparently I flew some of these when doing flapless approaches from the back seat of a Macchi. Mainly because the visibility was so poor, it was the only way to see where we were going.
