Doesn't matter if its a hand held you don't have to do any read backs on a PAR. They just talk you down. With small corrections in heading and rate of decent. Then at the bottom tell you that your over the touchdown point.

At which point hold the heading keep the ball in the center take the power off and as soon as the mains touch, hammer on the brakes.

Some controls have more finess with left a smige right a hair, little bobble please.

Its has been known to be done via a mobile tucked under a headset.

there is no way on this earth I would go for the chute if there was a field near by a radar. Even if they didn't have an offical SRA approach they would sort you out.

this conversation though does sort of show though why the insurance is so high. Writing off perfectly servicable aircraft when you still have options left.
