Meikleour has a point.
Airbus uses the landing runway to get a lot of information, like the ILS frequency, the landing elevation for the pressurization system, the terrain clearance for the EGPWS, groundspeed MINI etc. Now you can correct me about the effect all this has on a typical landing, i.e. probably not so much. But this discussion has nothing to do with knowing how or not to fly a visual approach, but with making sure the aircraft and yourself agree with what is happening outside.
