So?
Usually you saw the runway quite a bit before the MAP.
If you saw it, but not in a position to land, you didn't.
It wasn't really all that hard......
It was a lot less hassle than today's attempts to turn what is really a cloud break procedure, into a sort of home made ILS.
You came down to MDA, you flew along to the MAP, then you went around- unless you caught sight of the runway. Worked rather well, I thought.
Truth is "modern pilots" can't be trusted to fly straight and level, while looking out the window!
