Being allowed to fly a couple of visual approaches early on in the Sim (I accept I have no idea if that's accurate) and being signed off isn't really proper training for doing it after long flight and being given speed constraints several months later.
I could buy that if this were a low-time pilot. But this pilot was not - he had around 10k total hours and was previously a PIC domestically on A320. At some time during those many hours and sim sessions, the PF must have had to do a visual or two.
I can understand a poor performance (hard, slightly long or slightly short landing) but I can't understand what appears to be a complete loss of memory on how to do a visual.
I'm becoming more and more curious about sterile cockpit in this accident.
