A 'visual approach' at my carrier has evolved into a self-positioned non-precision approach with a 'FAF' and a requirement to use the automatics until established on final approach and a minima 500' above AD elevation.
This has arguably come about because of so many 'ace pilots' mis-flying their visual approaches and setting off the EGPWS or contravening criterion of the OFDM, but it's also part of a forward-looking policy to have SOPs that cater for the lower level of hand flying experience in the flight deck.
Given that this is a civilian transport operation and not a Red Bull air-race, it's arguably an understandably cautious attitude by the airline. A catch-22 too. Less practice means less spatial awareness. Less spatial awareness leads to some people blindly trusting the instruments and FMC.
