Yes, that would have been me. Thanks for the answer.
If you are off centreline, then the closer you get to the localiser, the greater the dot deviation.
Thanks for confirming my understanding of how the localiser works. That's what I figured.

The FDR graphs include a plot from a take-off. TLA is 35 degrees, so I guess this, too, was a FLEX-takeoff. EPR value shows around 1.34.
At thrust reduction TLA goes to 25 degrees ("CL" detent), EPR reduces to around 1.28.
I don't know what the relation is between EPR and thrust (force).
