Why are euros so afraid of visual approaches. Some of these guys I fly with REQUIRE a nice coloured line on MAP mode linked up to an ILS with a tiny little runway symbol plus speed/altitude inputs and a FMS-calculated profile indication or landing the a/c is simply impossible to compute.

Look outside. See the runway. Land.

Oooooooohhhhhhhh........... but no needles??? How will I know if I'm on slope or aligned with the runway? When should I reduce speed??

Maybe that's what you get when a 200hr pilot goes straight to a 737.
