When flying on Vatsim and turning to establish the ILS, i often ask ATC to fly a visual landing, because i enjoy flying manual and want to keep a feel of the aircraft...i understand the reasons from above of why ILS is used..thanks! So I'm guessing you real world pilots want to fly manually as much as possible. So do you ask for visual landings when you can?
Sorry for the questions, I'm a massive aviation fan and could talk about anything related to aviation all day...I promise not to do that on here!
