Not all pilots use sound judgment. Bitching to TWR about huge variations during autoland on a CAT1-ish ILS.... After the rather confused reply from TWR, discover the notation on the chart about the LLZ being offset two degrees with a RDH of -25ft.

Autoland on sub standard ILS is perhaps not to smart, at least not if it's your first time to the airfield.

CAT1 is CAT1. I've worked at another airfield, where we discovered that running runway sweepers parked at the CAT1 hold gave violent-ish effects for autolands below 100ft. (performed in VMC for training)
Gave a couple of SAS crews a jolt
