At my former airline, the FOM spelled out the procedure for this. We were to intercept the localizer via FMS needles until 18NM at which point we were to switch to the ground based localizer.

Go green, track the course and if the signal "strays" you off course it will be ATC's job to monitor that.

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..

+1, 31L at DAL is all over the place
