Question precision approach with AIRPORT data only?

is it possible to approach with the airport databank only.

I explain, a pilot is on an approach with minimum fuel where a go around is not possible(Mayday situation). Suddenly the only instrument approach is inop and you have to land the plane.

ceiling is around 100ft agl.Can be 50 ft...

Can you just draw a line from the runway, and follow this line?.

how far will you be away from the centerline?
is this kind of approach recommended in this type of situation?
