Narrative:
Aircraft X was on a vector to intercept the runway 17 localizer. They were issued a 140 heading to join. Aircraft X shot through and was seen descending into the 110 foot minimum vectoring altitude. The instructor took over and issued a heading to reintercept. Aircraft X reported in a 30 degree bank. The aircraft was still allowed to continue descending below the MVA.
