Too Low

No ILS glide slope and no PAPI. It is obvious what happened. VNAV is a good back up for a visual approach, unfortunately the "poor mans" glide slope is on the Navigation Display and not of the PFD (Pilot Flight Director), were it should be. Boeing is just getting around to fixing this with NPS (NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE SCALES) on the PFD. NPS is a new display feature that integrates the current LNAV (Lateral Navigation) and VNAV (Vertical Navigation).
