Arpster....Don't know where you are coming from ref: "LOC" minimums, but I have over 6,000 hrs PIC ont the 727 worldwide and a "raw data" ILS was the norm...FD is nice to have, but simply by the virture of your ATP, you are deemed qualified to conduct this approach without a F/D...If you can't manage it...shame on you...move 3' back to the right seat, or better yet, turn your certificate back into the FAA....
