I think in this case 'Blind Approach' just means 'Non Visual Approach' - ie in bad weather or at night to get the aircraft safely down the glideslope until hopefully eventually being able to land visually when descended to under cloudbase or visual with any Airfield/Runway Lighting/Funnel Lights/Drem Lights etc.
