According to radar data the localizer of the instrument landing system was intercepted at approximately 5,5 NM from the runway threshold.
On two occasions at AMS I had to turn 10 deg away from the intercept vector as I closed the LOC as it was too tight, and on both I was berated by the controller for 'screwing up' his nice tight sequencing. I did remind him who was responsible for the aircraft....................and where 'sympathy' was in the Oxford dictionary
