A well executed visual approach can save time and fuel but I hardly ever fly one these days for a number of reasons. Noise abatement and continuous descent regulations mean that you're normally too high to allow more than a mile or two to be shaved off your routing and target stabilisation SOPs are monitored by OPTIC so it's safer to remain with radar. BTW Ryanair crews always seem to be up for visual approaches, when available, unless things have changed recently?
