Looking outside the window and descending on a normal profile always worked for me. Looking inside the window was just to check airspeed. I guess we had a different way of flying.
I think that was exactly what the Atlas crew of the Dreamlifter did! Looked out the window, saw the runway, all looked good and employed their vastly superior stick and rudder skills...landing onto such a strip certainly needed that. What went wrong? Simple! They weren't as lucky as bubbers who led a charmed life!
