Narrative:
We were on a 30 degree intercept to the ILS runway 9L localizer and we had been cleared for the approach. I got too occupied/focused on running a checklist, that I neglected to call out 'localizer alive.' the captain flew through the localizer and we did not realize what had just happened before the controller said to turn right to a heading of 120 degrees to re-intercept the localizer. We had flown far enough north to be under the atl runway 8L localizer. Moral: intermittent situational awareness is dumb and unsafe.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: RPTR ERROR ADMITTED IN HDG TRACK POS DEV DURING THIS NON ADHERENCE TO ATC CLRNC INSTRUCTION.
Narrative: WE WERE ON A 30 DEG INTERCEPT TO THE ILS RWY 9L LOC AND WE HAD BEEN CLRED FOR THE APCH. I GOT TOO OCCUPIED/FOCUSED ON RUNNING A CHKLIST, THAT I NEGLECTED TO CALL OUT 'LOC ALIVE.' THE CAPT FLEW THROUGH THE LOC AND WE DID NOT REALIZE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED BEFORE THE CTLR SAID TO TURN R TO A HDG OF 120 DEGS TO RE-INTERCEPT THE LOC. WE HAD FLOWN FAR ENOUGH N TO BE UNDER THE ATL RWY 8L LOC. MORAL: INTERMITTENT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IS DUMB AND UNSAFE.
