I do fly the G/S "right on" when not following another heavy.
If behind another heavy, no wind, I will be slightly above, up to 1 dot.
I merely get 1 or 2 landings monthly... being relegated to check captain.
Selecting "LAND" with the autopilot is not a form of practice.
I always fly at Vref+5 as speed, which is generally 140-145 knots.
It is rare that I do have less than a 10,000+ft long runway.
And yes, it is also rare, that the RVR is less than basic visual conditions.

Plenty of practice in simulators... I still love to be in the "real machine"...
Besides, I hang my hat for good at the end of the month.
So I will be out of your airspace. Share it with other nerds and geeks.
That beach in Brazil sounds better every day that goes by.

This thread was to inform bizjet pilots as to how 747s are sometimes flown.
Sadly, a Lear just "bought the farm" in MEX, 2 days ago.
Wake turbulence was likely in their case. They were behind a 767.
But, you know better than me... I am from a third world nation airline.
I fly an airplane nearly 30 years old, soon to be retired as well.
