A key to total raw (last resort) data ILS approach is small corrections. With ref to localizer, try using the Heading Bug on the half-moon compass card at the bottom of the primary flight display. The 'bug' itself is about 10 degrees wide. Have the other pilot adjust it for the cross wind component, and then keep your heading within the confines of the 'bug' (+/- 5 degrees). If you can't make your corrections within that limit, you should go around and start over. Otherwise the tendency is to increase your bank with the intent of correcting faster...but resulting in an ever-increasing error. PIO. A raw data approach is very nearly an emergency!!
