The OLD Dive&Drive is safer than continuous descent.
Perhaps in a 1 ton PA28 or C182. We only had dual Navs and NDBs. when flying the old B737-100/200 and 727. We didn't have the advantage of GPS with 20 meter accuracy. We had to acquire ground contact with immediate effect, however with safety in mind being first. Today, with modern technology, I'll take a CDA to the DDA as my first option. Safety comes first.
