This has become way to painful. Let me ask a question. The last time you completed an ILS approach, when you reached minimums, did you:
a) report the airport in sight, or
b) request a visual approach, or
c) Land the f^@&ing airplane!!!
Why did you land? Because you had the REQUIRED visual references to continue the approach and land.
Did it matter at what point during that approach you obtained the visual reference? NO! Again....NO! If you have the required visual references, you don't need ANY ILS components.
This is what happens when the training pilots receive is simply to pass tests. No common sense or actual thought processes taking place with this 'Children of the Magenta Line' generation.
God help where this industry is going.
