My company has had a lot of issues with the the localizers indicating on centerline at mins and yet we're over 100 feet displaced from the centerline.
Let's wait for the ntsb report to come out before we throw daggers at our fellow brother and sisters flying the lawn dart and be thankful everyone survived with only minor injuries.

Our airplanes track the localizer very erratically. Within the service volume you can get 15-20 degree turns commanded by the FD.
If you look closely it’s the localizer deflecting a degree or two in either direction erratically. Almost as if someone is in the critical area.
I’d say in probably 5/10 of the aircraft I fly at piedmont have this issue. Some pilots prefer to fly in 195RA to tighten the system up to cat II tolerance (if that’s even a thing). I normally just intercept and fly to 3 miles outside the FAF in pink needles before switching to conventional nav.
That being said, this could be entirely apples to oranges. Who knows how our maintenance is at PDT compared to C5
