An interesting thread and as one that cut his aviation teeth flying viscounts into the channel islands using the monitored approach,I became a big fan.I flew the needles,came out with the calls and waited for the response "I have control" or "go around".The company I joined after also had a similar system, which on an aircraft with full autoland capability worked very well,however,where the system excelled in my opinion,was the NPA with large offset in marginal weather.
I was a little saddened when we as a company adopted pure boeing procedures and scrapped the idea.I have no doubt in the fullness of time it will re appear as a new broom comes in and claims it as the way forward.
I would hope that crews may wish to consider the option if circumstances dictate and use good airmanship,but maybe that is another debate.
