Rubbish.

It's offset because the VOR isn't beautifully aligned with the RWY 34 centerline and the approach of 346 degrees inbound to the VOR places you on the centerline at the minima. The VOR is in fact 350m ENE of the RWY intersection.

If what you say is true ( and it's not ) then the RNAV 34 wouldn't be runway aligned with a nice 3 deg glide slope would it......

Oh and ATC don't prefer it's use, most Aircraft now do the RNAV 34 or RNP 34.
I haven't done the VOR for 5 years!!
