This is one piece of equipment that is not promoted by management.
Matter of fact, they have deleted all the visual landmarks from the 13L approach plate, so even if you're looking out the window, you have nothing to compare it to. Unless, of course, you have a printed copy of the VOR chart with all the landmarks on it.
None of the emails in the aftermath of recent events mentioned the window as a tool to prevent similar occurrences. Their only solution is more SOPs (no pun intended SOP :-P )
