Very easy to undershoot or overshoot without vertical guidance! Espesecially as this crew probably hadn't done a visual approach for a long time!
If its a visual only approach surely you'd extend a centerline and fly the FMS vertical profile as a backup to your visual at the very least?? Especially if you don't do visuals that often?
