Full autoland in the PMDG 737-700

[Christopher Low 5,427]

What is the approach mode called where I only select a runway, and I have to set the approach distance and glide path angle? This seems to use LNAV and VNAV all the way down to the point where I manually take control at around 1000 feet. I had assumed ages ago that this was an IAN approach, but that does not seem to be the case.

Visual approach. Usually, a visual is backed up with a line-selectable instrument approach in the FMC like an ILS or RNAV to aid as guidance, but if a runway doesn't have an instrument approach you would do what you're describing. Or you can build your own waypoints in the FMC for a visual with appropriate altitudes to designate the final descent point to the runway.
