You're kidding right? Switching off the entire GPWS in order to fly a visual approach?!
How about Bird On, FDs Off, LS p/b Off. More than enough. Chance to get a GPWS G/S is very remote...if you really want to inhibit it, just inhibit G/S function but not the entire GPWS system.
FatFlyer,
AFAIK, side-step is still a normal/routine visual approach. Having a call from FDM should not be an issue in that specific case. As long as you know what you are doing and have flown a stabilized approach, a normal FDM dpt would understand easily.
Modern aviation does not preclude from flying airplanes.
But I understand this is company policy...so....
