When setting up an ILS approach by tuning the NAV 1 freq. and the CRS heading. Does your aircraft sometimes veer to the left or right of the center line of the runway on final approach? I assume it's a crosswind pushing the aircraft left or right, but what do you think?

It could be a crosswind if you are using real-time weather.  But, CRS headings aren't always true to the runway center line (they may have to be offset to make accommadtions for obstacles in the direct path of the center line).

So, as you get closer you may actually have to adjust the  CRS heading to meet the center line.

I ALWAYS switch OFF the Autopilot on final approach,  re-trim, and land the aircraft with full manual control.
This overcomes any problems of the aircraft trying to land itself in the wrong attitude, and in the wrong place!
