I think attitude flying is the best thing to do with rare scanning of GS when navigating, thats where i came to, flying in various headings is also a good tool to determine the wind speed but i am never sure that wind flow is so steady as in the text books,

As for landing if there is tower, attitude plus GS both may be used, Without tower i agree with attitude flying only,shortly this is the summary i extracted for myself,

There is one more question itching my brain,
What about Va and Vfe in case of ASI loss, apart from that I still read ongoing discussions whether they are TAS or IAS,
