Exactly what I'm talking about...it's a visual approach. If I am allowed to fly an approach with absolutely nothing in the box, why can't I load something just to glance down at to make sure I'm where I need to be? Don't accept the RNAV visual fine, accept a regular visual and then use it, I don't get the big deal. It's just better for situational awareness.
