Descending from above onto the glide slope is so common any competent crew can do it with no risk. It is a non event. If you can't do it you should not be flying the aircraft. Simple as that. I...

I think it all comes back to idle power through the approach without anybody monitoring airspeed. You can't blame the aircraft for that.

Sims are difficult to fly in circle to land maneuvers because of the restricted side visibility so I can understand using special techniques to get in position to see again the landing runway. I...
