It seems that unless the critical area is protected as in the other A/C holding short of the CATII line, I always get a variance ride with the LOC in IAD as well as many others. My suggestions arm NAV and hand fly it..

The first time I flew the ILS to 31L at KDAl I thought I was on the ski slopes doing the Giant Slolam! (but it too was within tolerance - but I wonder how a pilot feels the first time going into KDAL IMC and the A/P seems to be chasing its' tail. But then come to think about it - what do you expect with signals bouncing off the downtown skyscrapers?
