I find it interesting that no-one appears to have mentioned noise-abatement.
Surely we have a moral responsibility NOT to "dive-... " and anything unless we want to attract even more noise complaints from local residents. Descending to MDH unnecessarily early on any approach could be fun, I suppose, but is it always sensible - regardless of the handling ability of the crew. A good handling test but not a sensible SOP.
How about flying level to MDH/MDA when you need to, but maintaining a nominal constant glidepath as a norm?
Before anyone asks - no Im not a tree-hugger.
