Can some one have a look at Vancouver (British Colombia ,Canada)
airport strip 26L, ILS landing seams to be 10 degree off set to the actual landing strip (from the right toward the left).

sorry I dont have the 4 digit name.(I am not home)

If you have the same result please post here

IF have a clue as what could be the cause of my ILS automated Crash system.

I hope i am the one at fault, cause I want to rely on those system in bad weather.

I saw several of these on my round-the-world trip and I thought they were just bugs in the scenery. I have since discovered that they are, I believe, Localizer Directional Aid (LDA) approaches. They are used when a straight in approach to the runway is inadvisable for some reason -- usually something like mountains in the way.

The idea is that you fly the localizer down until you can see the runway and land visually. I think they are categorized as non-precision approaches.

I've never encountered a problem at CYVR, I fly there about 3 times a week.

Here's some data from my charts, btw:

RWY 26L - ILS/RADAR - 260° (4.1 nm from VR NDB [266.00 is the freq])

Localizer 110.70

edit: BTW, there are no obstructions.

I don't have that problem either,loc 110.70 are you sure you set in NAV1 to see if the plane's automatic heading set your plane in a right heading?

Well I can't help on the ILS heading. These are referred to as offset LDA (which is indicated in the airport's Map View information) and are featured at airports which are impracticle for straight-in ILS approaches. On some of these, if you are tracking the ILS you may notice that you will hit the ground before the ILS ends, that is normal as the ILS typically will go right past the end of the runway. One of the best and most challenging approaches I can think of is Aspen, Colorado, USA in bad weather. ATC has no control over this area (they like to run you into mountains, so climb fast and feel free to brake clearances) and it is often in bad weather. Just try flying the approach then try doing it in low visibility and you can see why flying these can be tricky. However, I guess it does beat flying the standard ILS into that mountain...

Pilot for a major US airline certified in the: EMB-120, CRJ, 727, 737, 757, 767, and A-320 and military, T-38, C-130, C-141, and C-5 along with misc. other small airplanes. Any questions, I'm here for you.
