Raw data monitoring is recommended but not required anymore. All non precision approaches are flown as IAN which means the same presentation and basic procedure as an ILS, however the final approach course and glide path are FMC generated. That means of course that the approach has to be in the database, self generated procedures are not available and not allowed. During winter one has to be careful about temperature correction and in case of FMC procedures about the temperature limit for that particular procedure.

Generally we have tuned the NDB and have the needle on our ND, same for VOR approaches. LOC approaches have to be flown with reference to the localizer anyway which is then shown on the PFD. That is for the 737 fleet, dunno how they do it on our busses (A320/A330).
