Absolutely false. Any swa pilot who is not a desk flyer flies non-precision (and precision rnav) approaches all the time, as they are prevalent at many of our busy airports.

RNP 22L in mdw, RNAV 36L mco, RNP into all runways in DEN BNA and AUS, RNP 27 SAN, RNP DCA, RNAV visuals into LGA, RNAV into DAL, RNAV 19 in MSY, LDA/RNAV 35 in SLC just to name a few.

Now, before you say RNP is precision not NPA: functionally on the FMC/MCO, they are identical. Every swa pilot is intimately familiar with how to fly an RNAV approach. And every ILS is subject to the same risks of going to the last fix/runway from xx miles our, as APPR won't capture GS until LOC intercept, so VNAV LNAV will function identically up until GS capture.
