Having been forced to adopt this SOP many years ago, it quite accurately describes the monitored approach procedure
Sorry, silverstrata, I have to disagree there. The spoof made a functional system look like madness.
Correctly used in appropriate circumstances, it worked very well. We used it flying an aircraft without autoland into airfields, some of which only had a VOR or NDB approach and, even on a man-land ILS, it was very useful.
Was it useful for an autoland? Probably less so.
