Some of the information available is very useful and in the interests of safety, it should be used. If an approach to 27 had been input into the FMGC, the an approach centreline from 5 miles would have been seen on the ND, the donut will have given them a vertical profile and GS Mini would have been active. This would have taken moments and would have prevented this incident. The information is there. Even if you think you are familiar with the approach, it can still catch you out.
it's interesting that although this was the 4th sector of the day and late at night, fatigue was not mentioned. Perhaps it's a bit of a dirty word with the new Euro FTLs approaching.
