28L visual

FWIW I just landed my bird at SFO on 28L on a visual approach off the Big Sur arrival which comes in rom the LA direction to the south. This has you join final approach at around 10 to 15 miles - depending on ATC

There are no ground based radio aids "up" for the 28's except the SFO VOR. The PAPI's are up for both 28L and R - based on the new displaced threshold.

3 to 1 works great. This is not a difficult approach if you just stop worrying about what mode to operate your FD or AP in. Turn the whole lot off and look out the window. Your PM should be keeping a watchful eye out for red flags...
