A couple more clarifications.

LOC approach : Set FPA according to the G/S angle stated on Jepps - usually it's 3 degrees. To anticipate, pull it say 0.2nm before the descent DME on the Jepp chart. Time is used for certain plates - if so, cover it in your descent briefing.

VOR : In a selected-selected approach (not usual for airline SOPs, maybe sim training only), tune yourself into the VOR and the ND will give you left/right indications (nothing to do with LOC). If there is a reversal, tune both outbound and inbound radials. Just as you would in a Cessna.
