Additionally, LOC* mode includes "Enhanced LOC capture function", which uses FM position in order to make anticipate LOC capture and makes a smoother turn to the localizer. So it's not just external data.
2. Nothing wrong, the APU bleed air valve won't open until APU N > 95% anyway, just not the way this things are done.
1. I suppose that makes sense. I do remember reading about the enhanced loc capture. Quite sophisticated, this machine.
2. Got it.
Thanks
