The LDA-PRM 28R is actually only 3 degrees off from the runway heading, but physically offset from the centerline so that it guides you to a point about 1000 feet to the right of the runway, on about a 4 mile dog-leg final. The final maneuvering portion is visual and feels pretty similar to the last minute "sidestep to 28L" landing that you may get off a visual approach from time to time. Just look out the window, remember your non-moving point aiming technique, mind your speed, and land.
