It's also only useful at places with low air traffic density. That is, ATC can't "flow" arrivals the same as for ILS/MLS etc because the aircraft in front of you blocks the signals to your receiver.

Thus, one arrival at a time, with very large time gaps between successive arrivals. How much holding fuel do you like to carry?
