Errrr, not so fast sir...

Eclan, I was the bright spark you mention but if you understand the context of what I said by reading the next paragraph of my post, you will realize that we are basically making the same point. Here it is below for a refresher:

"SFO 28L/R G/S have been Notamed out for the last 3 weeks and despite that, pilots from all different airlines and countries have done hundreds of visual approaches without incident.

So sure, the average airline crew is supposed to be able to do a visual approach to landing without an issue. However if Accident and Incident reports tell us one thing, its that they happen when we least expect them to and the reasons for their occurrence ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous."
