This is very true. I thought I had visuals down in jets until I went to a very high performance business jet doing circling approaches with no FD or guidance whatsoever down to 4400 foot runway at night with trees on one end and a quarry on the other. It's just you, your eyeballs and a fast scan.
Challenging to say the least.
