F\D
i took an mcc course with a major airline and they had me flying visual pattern using full f\d both vertical and lateral, It works great in the sim (visual only, basically a computer) but I wouldn't call it visual flying lots of chit chat due to f\d sop and lot of head down time close to the gnd, I have doubts.
I used Fpa on other types and works great for Par, night approach or non precision; nonetheless in the last two cases it's my opinion that only ht\dist calls will save you in case anything happens.
Give it a try may work for you.
Cheers
