The PVD was on because the ILS frequency had been set into the FMS NavRad page. Was the ILS inserted because the SID required it to be tracked outbound, as in runway 06 at TPE? The ILS deviation indications would automatically be shown on the PFD once the ILS was tuned, and the ND would have shown the aircraft right of the runway. The localiser would have shown a left deviation as we know, but wouldn't this raise questions since it was possibly required for SID tracking. The B744 standby AI should also have had the ILS selected as a backup, but was it? There are 3 indications indicating that you are not aligned with the localiser, and 1 that you are not aligned with the runway, all of them right infront of you. Why the PVD was solely noted is disturbing, and why did no-one check the other 3 indications when the PVD showed a discrepancy?
