If so, what was your impression?


I've flown several of them, but only in practice. The one at KPRC overlays the ILS, but the one at KDVT
(RNAV 25L) gives nice capability to this airport, although the weather hardly ever requires it. It's also a
nice approach for practice, with a 9 mile final approach segment, it gives you lots of time on the needles.
The 480 flies them very nicely. It may be just me, but it seems the deviations are more stable than an
ILS, i.e. no beam bending, side lobes, etc.
