That prang was a good example of where, if you are forced to do a circle, technology (eg use of Fixes on the ND) could greatly assist SA.
If you want to use technology, in airbus you can use radial in function to the runway threshold and it gives you glide slope guidance from yo yo. But again it's visual manoeuvre.
