For example, my first heavy jet type ride (B707, circa 1974) ended with an NDB approach (engine out, idle thrust) which required a circle to land with the second engine...

Kingpilot, the short answer is you cannot, just as you cannot have that stabilized approach from a circling approach at 600'agl.

Would agree that the constant descent, go-around immediately at MDA+50'.... is generally fine for everyday ops.
However, there are times when you have to be down and dirty at MDA to see the runway....

Well Kingpilot, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine.
Those airlines who use MDA=DA+50' and a constant descent certainly have their reasons, although I would not...

Well fms146, that can be a real problem.
I have noticed DE Captains joining an airline and then adopting their own procedures (from another carrier)and this drives the F/O's to distraction.
