Either way, please for the love of god and the health of my anUs, if you're going to intercept with LOC/GS at least lead the turn with heading. The amount of times I've seen a compass pilot almost kiss tips with another plane at SFO is too damn high. So please, if there's a procedure that says technically that's right let me know so I can ask it to be changed.
