Hi Nad

From the notes I have, the VOR/LOC functions after mode capture are almost identical. Bank angle and roll rate limits for VOR/LOC are the same after capture. The notes show a radio rate signal which is used in LOC captured mode but not always used after VOR capture. The radio rate signal functions in a similar manner to the course error signal after capture in maintaining the aircraft on the beam centre line.
