You could also allocate the zoom function to your mouse wheel and use that.

I have been trying that trick of yours with some success Frank, but if I
then see that I'm quite a bit off line, the adjustment was proving too
tricky because I couldn't line up properly at 300% because my eye-brain
couple is so fixated on the normal approach picture for RW flying. So I
was having to zoom in and out whilst trying to fly.  I'm going to try
opening a separate mini window showing forward view zoomed to 300% and
see if that works.

Peter,
 
I went to the trouble of creating a ZOOM gauge which responds to mouse
clicks as follows -
First O - zooms out
Second O - zooms in
M - zoom normal
 
I zoom in to 300% just to spot the markers, once I see them I identify the
route by noting trees, buildings etc., I then switch to zoom normal. Rather
like having a quick squint through binoculars.
 
Taking Bones' point there's no way I'd fly in on 300% zoom, its just used to
help spot those runway markers from distance.
