Displaced ILS question
Hope you don't mind me asking this question here but some of you know my "name" as a regular on Capcon.
I was taking a look at the AIP entry for Lydd and noticed that the ILS loc was off to the side of the rwy rather than on the centreline and that it was had a 5 deg offset. I presume it's put to the side so that the offset loc beam is directly over the runway touchdown point?
My question is when you clever lads and lasses fly an ILS like this do you kick off the offset in the same way you would do with the drift from a crosswind approach or is there a different way of touching down off that ILS.
I did also see that the remarks state no auto coupled approaches allowed below 250ft but that makes sense, after all you don't want to end up in a field beside the ILS loc aerial.
