Question

And can you do this even whilst not visual with the airfield?

The reason I ask is because you hear so much crap about peacock pilots who interpret the SOPs in their own ways. In our forum one of our pilots witnessed a very snotty FO who nearly caused a visual approach to turn into a go-around because he wanted to complicate a perfectly straightforward approach in 50k's vis. Apparently the captain had to maintain control all the way to a very nice, safe, stable landing because the FO got himself into a tiz about stability/precision app coupling and wanted to go around for no good reason.

Very funny, Scotty. Now beam up my clothes!
