There are guys round the network that are scared of visuals, but I tend to find them in the minority.
On a side note, I was under the illusion you were allowd a 2.5nm level segment in a CDA and so, if flown accurately, an FR V/S NPA would count. May well be wrong though...

Well, I am an FR FO and on average I hand fly more than the Captains with whom I fly. Most can't be bothered. Why the constant criticism of FOs when, in my experience at least, it is Captains who are less likely to exercise their greater skills...

Goodness, some of you are obnoxious.
Which one of you wallies claimed they hand-fly raw data in IMC? I will have a search.
VJW - It was you. Go and read various threads concerning EK pilots, many are worried their skills are diminishing due to a lack of hand flying.

What the hell is a vertical speed (v/s) approach?
Serious question, I know of non-precision approaches and precision approaches. But both of them require a vertical speed to eventually land the aircraft on a runway.
The method you use to achieve that vertical speed doesn't matter to my simple mind (handfly, glideslope, vnav, vertical speed all the same)
