India Four Two - thanks for the reply. I was kind of thinking that that design may have more to do with how it is required to be constructed, as the expectation is you'd be visual to continue the approach and the descent procedure isn't intended as precision guidance. I see your point but by the time the design has done its job, you should be flying visually and where it "ends up" is not vital.
I certainly understand the remarks regarding, and the problems concerning automation dependency and have even written about it in the past. That "generation of children" is just starting out, (it's about fifteen years old now) and it's going to take some time and some accidents to take the industry back to actually teaching and knowing how to fly vice "managing" the airplane.
