Being from the "old school", but having used some of the most modern EFIS, I wonder why no one had at least raw data displayed with the ILS tuned and inbound heading set.
The thread is indeed long but take another look. The Air Canada crew was cleared for the FMS Bridge Visual to 28R,
not the Quiet Bridge Visual. See earlier posts on why you might not find the FMS Bridge Visual in your Jepps.
And, as explained in previous posts, the ILS is not normally tuned on this approach in an A320 since there is FMS guidance to the runway and it is difficult to display raw ILS data in the 'bus without switching approach modes.
