Oh come on...........

Flying an RNAV runway aligned approach must be about the easiest approach in the world to do....even without the AP nicely following a Vertical path to the minima.

Yes an Aircraft that did it all itself would be wonderful but what about a Pilot sitting in the Aircraft that could actually do it himself by selecting 800 fpm or 3deg slope at the correct point then monitoring the result?? They do give you Alts for every 1 nm don't they???

I'm not proposing a return to ww2 ADF approaches!! I love my reasonably modern A330 but do you guys really need to be spoon fed?
