At the risk of being branded a reactionary - look at FW instrument approaches. All of them are now 'ILS like' so that every approach is flown the same way. Lots of good information about closure rates (thanks to having to maintain an airspeed to avoid stalling), knowing where the runway is, and so on.
What we need is a consistent approach methodology (with rate of descent and closure rate information coming from something other than visual cues) that will take us down to some very low height above the landing zone (50'? 100'?) so that then we can take over and land comfortably all the time. Repeat - all the time!
Differential GPS? WAAS GPS in the USA? Something out there will work.
Let's start pressuring for it.
