(I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere. Prepping for an interview.)
If we have an offset localizer (up to 3 degrees), when the value is positive (e.g, 1.75 deg), we'd expect to see the runway on which side of aircraft?
I'd assume a positive value means the final approach course would bring you in just to the right of runway, and the runway would be left of center from the cockpit perspective. But I can't find the answer anywhere online. Thanks for the help.

Same as clockwise compass numbers increasing and counter clockwise decreasing.
So in a no wind condition offset “+” is to the right.
Anything less then full scale we’ll call it good.
Final answer.

Obviously the offset is the number of degrees from the final approach course - it isn't a positive or negative number.
You can tell this somewhat from the aiming arrow on the figure (at least on the AIS plates.
