RNAV GNSS approaches

Hi all,

I understand that standard procedure for an RNAV approach is to be 'own nav'd' to the IAF, and that a period of level flight of 2nm is required. My questions are:
does this level flight have to be straight, or could it be in the turn?
Could you be sent to the final approach fix instead of the initial, or would the a/c FMS (or crew!) not like that?

Cheers

John
