The FPV is handy on NP approaches with a variable crosswind as it reacts more quickly than the eye can detect drift - particularly at night. If the approach is not stabilized however, it is next to useless. Other than that and as mentioned, a wind shear warning, the FPV should serve as a cross-check item only and one should never focus on the thing.
