Additonally we used to do level approaches at Rwy 23 Dublin at 1000' and when the runway disappeared under the nose, the training Captain would close all four engines, and a courageous steep nose-down dive at the runway threshold was necessary to avoid going off the far end, followed by a positive G rotate and landing.
Cant quite see that any useful purpose is served by this type of training or am I missing something, it would certainly bring some interesting pax comments!
