CANPA approaches are much better then dive and drive. We have been doing the for years at XJT. You fly it much more like an ILS and go around at the DDA makes it so that you won’t go below minimums. Yes you do have to pay attention to the approach, I mean god forbid you have to pay attention for 5 minutes.
