Possible workaround?

Does your FMS allow range rings from the runway threshold?

If NORMAL approach is 3 degrees, then appropriate rings with a target ALTITUDE of 320'/nm plus threshold elevation plus 50' should assist those otherwise uncomfortable with a purely visual approach to put the aircraft where it should be.

Before the howls of outrage I'm assuming you are by now VMC with runway lights in sight.

Rings less than 2nms from threshold are not needed as by then if you're not in the groove it's time for a G/A anyway (500' stabilised?) but if in the groove then leave the energy management as it is and get the job done?

But there are TCs out there who despise the use of such utilisation of the kit so be prepared to defend your corner.
