411a, I still cannot agree with you. IMHO the better trained pilot is the one who has been taught the safest way of doing the approach. Perhaps your method REQUIRES more skill but who is to say that pilots trained in the constant ROD would not be able to fly level at MDA if they were required to do so? It has been said before but I will say it again, a good pilot uses his superior judgement in order to avoid having to demonstrate his superior skill.
