Not taught without fd. GOM requires use of fd except last phase of a visual landing.
Nobody is taught to land an approach using the standby instrument. Should be taught.

When in your 20's you think you're invincible.
30's, you think you'll live forever.
40's, you notice some peers have had very unfortunate demises.
50's, your health becomes much more in focus.
60's, you thank god everyday for another year of health and ability to enjoy life/work.
70's, you manage health and enjoy life to the fullest.
80's, you consider running for Senator or president of the US.
In my 30's I had no idea of the details of LTD etc, but after a few friends in their 40's had to go through sometimes temporary STD and some others went to LTD, you begin to see the benefits of the system and how life plan altering that transition can be without any LTD in place.
