Last Company I flew for (a well known European loco) flies monitored approaches when weather below specified minima. Had never operated this way but rapidly came to the conclusion that it was a sound way of managing the approach.

I believe quite a large analysis of approach accidents discovered that 75% of them occurred on a non precision approach when the Captain was flying the aircraft. (No sleight intended against Captains but statistically just a fact of life).
