How safe PAR approaches?
Well so long as you can fly, it is best ever approach made, no nav equipment required.

Used to fly in to Northolt on regular civil flights and a PAR was a most welcome event especially with that calming female voice, your on GP on GS

Over the years a most memorable PAR approach was during an emergency with no options left flying in to Sonderstrom Fiord during the time when the USAF operated the airfield, single engine jet, all sorts of failures in progress, weather down to minimums and a very nice female controller talked me down to touch down in white out conditions, had a few beers that night
