I make it a point to land on runways that are at least 15' wide so that if I break out of the clouds at 200' agl I can sidestep to the center without much trouble

 This might be a stupid question, but if you are using a wingtip Bob Archer

[quote]antenna for GS/LOC, would your position be offset by the 15' or so that the

antenna is out from the centerline of the plane?



Is this something that you can compensate for in the NAV radio?[b]

Me too.

       

       I remember reading an article in one of the IFR newsletters titled       something like "Tips from the Freight Dogs", where a "freight dog"       described how on a night approach to minimums, he would fly a half       a needle width to the left so he could see the center line more       easily in his twin... seriously.

       

       What's a needle?

       

       do not archive
