I'm not sure how many ppruners will agree with me here, but I feel that if you can't fly your a/c on to the runway visually, you have no business in the cockpit.
Yes, I know 'piloting' skills are not the whole job nowadays, but you are paid to fly and putting the a/c neatly on the runway- any runway- once you can see it, is a basic skill that must be in every pilots repertoire.
Frankly, as someone hinted earlier, the more you do, the easier they are.
