FLS vs RNAV approaches on A320

Hello all,

In the airline I fly for on the A320 we regularly do RNAV approaches and soon RNP-AR obviously using FINAL APP.

Have been recently made aware that the A320 can have the option of doing an FLS approach using F-G/S and LOC. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences of using this system, it’s use on the line and the benefits or negatives compared to an RNAV app?

I understand you can’t do curved final approaches like with RNP-AR with FLS but to me ( with very little knowledge of this system so please correct me) if you can do RNAV approaches is there any point in FLS. Also what airlines use this system?
