Offset Localizer
(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.

The main thing is the rwy hdg v LOC. It the LOC is 270 and your course is 267, the rwy will be offset right. If your course is 273 it'll be left. Then consider wind correction on final and that'll give you your answer on where to look out the window.
Good luck.

Sigh. The answer to that question is visually obvious on the chart.
Interviewers should not be asking questions like that without the chart in front of you. That's kind of like having you draw the overhead panel from memory
Not picking on the OP. Hopefully it's a well-paying job if they play games like that.
