Perhaps I'm misinterpreting what you've written, but how is this different than a 'real' precision approach? When you reach the MAP after D&D, you're stable in three axes. How would you rather be when looking for the runway? When you reach the MAP after following a glide slope, you should also be stable in three axes (heading, pitch, and bank should all be constant). Even better, if you see the runway, you can continue to hold that attitude down to the surface. If anything, the slight nose-down pitch attitude should make it easier to see the runway, compared to having to search for it over the nose in level flight after a dive-and-drive. |
