Down 3 Greens ; I get the sarcasm and you are completely correct. No, you have been doing it right, Sir. That is why you are here to tell the tale. Kids of the Magenta line are never going to get this. However, this incident was with the A300 with older technology.Manage the aircraft, use whatever automation and level of automation you wish but be profoundly aware of it's limitations. Non precision approaches are exactly that. Non precision. In olden days we used to call it "cloud break". A procedure for use in IMC to get the aircraft into a position from which a VISUAL approach can be made. I quite liked the "Dive & Drive" although, in practice, it was NEVER that sporty. Within 5 degrees of the published inbound, you "started down"...............not a DIVE............and on reaching MDA you looked out of the window. Again, in practice, bringing in visual cues started way back in the procedure. "Driving" was, again, never a imprecise manouevre, more, controlled flight while, again, seeking & confirming the runway. Trying to make modern technology work in a NON-PRECISION environment has always been a recipe for disaster.
