Y'all need to bring your A game anywhere. The fact that anyone considers a PAPI/VASI to be mandatory equipment is shocking.

I recently had an FO who was tremendously concerned because the DME was out (no GPS aircraft)... /U only. I hadn't done that in years, but how to do it, at night, into a poorly lit field, in the relative middle of nowhere, was a no brainer. I suspect the average fully automated CML would have flown the thing into the cliffs.

I also particularly enjoy two other items...

1) People who can't tell exactly where the aircraft is headed by looking out the window.

2) People who use the VSI to maintain level flight.
