Beta-----yes I can see how landing a 737 at 130kts straight in to a 6000' runway at night would be harder than landing a 747 at 280 odd tonnes with a VRef of 160kts at night in a Typhoon doing a 47 deg right turn onto final during gusty bumpy conditions just above the roof tops.
Don't knock it till you try it......oh that's right you can't anymore!!
Believe me, nothing got your Heart rate higher than those ****ty IGS approaches and I've done quite a few IGS's and NDB's at night in F50's 737's 777's and 744's. Some of those NDB's were done in Asia at night with Ts around in 737-200's with no GPS/Area Nav system fitted.
