Why would one need an endorsment to fly a PAR/GCA? Any pilot should be able to {a} Fly a heading{b} Fly a sink rate. Most GCAs will suggest an initial rate of descent based on your IAS, if not then you should have a fair clue as to what you will need to maintain the glidepath. When on an All Weather Squadron this was our prime method of getting down when it was cruddy, great NCO controllers, talk you right to touch down, even in a four plane and would give you the "Cut" to chop the power, no bloody Apch Bans or any of that stuff, as to doing it in a "Bus", did a few at a USAF destination, piece of cake.
