That version can not possibly be reasonably true. If you look at the chart of the approach LOC 25 it still takes you to the VOR co-located at the beginning of the runway, there is just an offset of 26° - as the threshold is diplaced, there is plenty of time to align - 9 seconds using a standard rate turn. As the height above the VOR i.e. threshold, DH is 614' there is no need to rush if you initiate the turn at minimums.
So they did not follow the procedure LOC 25 as stated - how can you otherwise mistake 27 for 25 if you have briefed an offset procedure and you followed the localizer ?? The localizer 25 does not align you with 27.
