Doesn't anybody fly an approach by maintaining an apparent walking pace over your toes? Positive forward motion (visually over toes and IAS), controlled rate of descent, aim point steady in the window. From 300' and 60kt, the decreasing airspeed makes the walking pace looks constant all the way to the hover where you have a REAL walking pace.
A downwind approach will have groundspeed apparently higher than indicated airspeed, something which should be detected well before losing translational lift. But people still fall out of the sky, and run out of left pedal, and do silly stuff. Like "Pretend" VRS at 100', and practising bleeding.
