Centy,
He explained that it was all very well to have a SOP directing the PNF to stay heads down until the PF called visual. But that when getting closer to the runway there was an overpowering temptation to see what was going on outside. He succumbed to that temptation and shortly after with both pilots looking outside, they missed the sink rate.
Regardless of the HKG incident, your view is capable of standing alone. All I can say is "perhaps". I've flow these procedures to mins in stable and unstable conditions I found the procedure works very well, even with Captains reluctant to go-around!!
