This is standard Straight-In Approach NPA stuff, Training Wheels. Unless the aid is on the extended centreline, you'll always have to manoeuvre left or right to line up with the runway. If the approach is flown as per the chart, only once though, a slight turn to align; left in this case. It may be after the MApt.

When the manoeuvring required to align exceeds the practical, then it becomes a Circling Approach.
