Question

Boac,
every time i've flown the 06 procedure i've experienced the same as you...a thought that springs to mind is perhaps the VOR signal is right on the max tolerance of +/- 3deg(or whatever it actually is). Although some may consider it a little unorthodox, I've found that by staying in HDGSEL on the intercept until slightly through the Localiser, and selecting VOR/LOC to pick it up from 1/2 a degree from the southern side results in more satisfactory tracking. Just my humble opinion, but when picking up the Loc from the northern side it does seem like the a/p takes an age to get the Loc bar dead centred, after VOR/LOC is actually annunciated. Maybe the beam is a bit dodge on the northern side? Terrain affecting it?
