Do you mean "visual approach"? VFR is a different type of flying.

PS: What are "primary AP settings"?
@it0uchpods, there is a 3 ways to land on an airport - ILS landing, primary A/p and manually. The second , witch is " primary autopilot settings" is mean that you are still using A/p during your landing. This time is different - If you are turn off the A/p and do not use even F/D you have to do entirely manual visual approuche. The primary A/p settings are in 2 variants - Engage F/d with ILS settings or on LNAV/ HDG and V/s, VNAv or FLCH and an second way - A/p engaged, with / in most cases / HDG and V/s or VNAV. Now, When I perform for example a landing on an airport without ILS usually I remote and controll with A/p and HDG with V/s. This is the most nearest way to land without ILS. But on 500 I took over manually controll, because V/s down this alt is rapidly dangeourus. Like for example yesterday on VTSP I perform the landing like this, I was thinking to repeat, because I land on the grass , not the centerline of the RWY. Unfortuanately even on LNAV you are not perfectly allined, ususally, LNAV does not follow the course properly after you starting final approuche, so I use HDG hold for that purpose. But there is a complication - The complication is that even than you are not pefectly allined with the RWY. So, unfortuanately it will be hard to do primary A/p settings landing. But that's the situation now.
