A normal pilot would be at 137 knots and descending at 700 fpm by 500 feet. Why couldn't they? All of us Western people have had no problem with it for decades. I did it 100s of times to 28L with no glide slope. Why couldn't they?

Should we have special regulations for foreign carriers that can't do a visual approach or just not allow them into our airports until they conform to our standards? How hard is looking out the window and lining up with a runway and have a clue how it should look?
