July 20, 200322 yr After identification of the ILS, the PFD shows the front course of the LOC. However, on an apprach to EHAM's runway 36R I noticed that on the PFD it says 006 and on the FMC approach page it says 004.My assumption is that this is caused by the fact that the PFD apparently gets its information from the FS standard database and some years ago the LOC course was still 006, and the FMC gets its information from the AIRAC 0304 cycle I downloaded and due to the annual change in variation the LOC course is now indeed 004. Am I right here?And if so, could this have any influence on aircraft behaviour? It did seem as if the aircraft was slightly left of the line drawn on the ND although it did hit the runway at more or less the right spot.Thanks,Leo Bakker
