Narrative:

Inbound on full ILS runway 18 to leb. Utilizing autoplt; we fly the ILS until we descended below the overcast layer of 2500 ft. When we were VFR; the localizer course was aligned; but the runway was well west of the course. When we aligned with the runway; we were one full DOT deflection off. The NOTAMS stated that the localizer was unusable .5 mi into the airport and > 30 degrees from course final. In actuality; it was unusable (or at least 4 degrees off center) out to 3 miles. I mentioned the deviation to tower on frequency and made a follow up after landing. I was told it was 'deceiving' as to the alignment. My concern is if the approach is done to minimums; a landing may not be possible. The aircraft equipment worked fine prior to and after the approach at leb.

Title: C560 FLT CREW EXECUTED ILS RWY 18 TO LEB. AFTER DESCENDING BELOW THE OVERCAST; IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE LOC WAS NOT ALIGNED WITH THE RWY.

Narrative: INBOUND ON FULL ILS RWY 18 TO LEB. UTILIZING AUTOPLT; WE FLY THE ILS UNTIL WE DESCENDED BELOW THE OVERCAST LAYER OF 2500 FT. WHEN WE WERE VFR; THE LOC COURSE WAS ALIGNED; BUT THE RWY WAS WELL WEST OF THE COURSE. WHEN WE ALIGNED WITH THE RWY; WE WERE ONE FULL DOT DEFLECTION OFF. THE NOTAMS STATED THAT THE LOCALIZER WAS UNUSABLE .5 MI INTO THE ARPT AND > 30 DEGS FROM COURSE FINAL. IN ACTUALITY; IT WAS UNUSABLE (OR AT LEAST 4 DEGS OFF CENTER) OUT TO 3 MILES. I MENTIONED THE DEVIATION TO TWR ON FREQ AND MADE A FOLLOW UP AFTER LNDG. I WAS TOLD IT WAS 'DECEIVING' AS TO THE ALIGNMENT. MY CONCERN IS IF THE APCH IS DONE TO MINIMUMS; A LANDING MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE. THE ACFT EQUIP WORKED FINE PRIOR TO AND AFTER THE APCH AT LEB.
