I think he meant false capture on the LOC. To clarify, I’ve never seen a false capture on a full ILS in the 145. Generally speaking, the 145 AP does a good job when holding both the LOC and the GS. If you’re seeing more than 1/2 dot deviation inside 500 ft while coupled to AP, then there’s a problem and a GA should be initiated. Like I said, this wouldn’t have anything to do with actually putting the airplane down the in the snow. The TD zone needs to be indentified before landing.
