Have guys forgotten how to land on a runway after a 3 degree approach WITHOUT any glidepath guidance? It is after all a visual approach following he transition. Whatever happened to maintaining the correct perspective. There were, perhaps still are, many rwys without fancy lights. A B737 can get into some very tiny and interesting places. Perhaps the XAA's wouldn't licence them for commercial jet operations with no christmas lights, but then again Mk.1 eyeball should be a pilot's near and dear friend.
