We (747 operator) have a "visual overlay procedure" that allows us to use LNAV to fly the final turn onto 13L, rolling out at just above 300' final. It's not VNAV so use V/S as the vertical mode. We must be visual by 800' but the autopilot can be used down to a minimum disconnect of 360' agl.

I've done it several times since it was introduced and it works very well.
