LOC OVERSHOT IN HDG TRACK DEV.

Narrative

WE WERE OPERATING A SCHEDULED FLT FROM BDL TO MCO. LNDG 17 AND 18R. WE WERE APCHING FROM THE NE; TRYING TO STAY S OF THE CB'S BUILDING ON THE N SIDE OF THE FIELD. WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO FLY A 250 DEG HDG TO INTERCEPT THE 17 LOC AND TO DSND AND MAINTAIN 2500 FT. WE WERE FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS; DSNDING AT 210-220 KTS ON A 250 DEG HDG. THIS HDG GAVE US A 70 DEG INTERCEPT TO THE LOC. THIS; COUPLED WITH THE GIVEN AIRSPD; PROVED TO BE TOO MUCH TO ACCOMPLISH THE INTERCEPT; CREATING AN OVERSHOOT OF THE LOC. AN IMMEDIATE STEEP BANKED TURN (45 DEGS) WAS INITIATED TO THE L. THE ACFT WAS LEVELED OFF AT 3800 FT AND SLOWED TO FLAP EXTENSION SPD. TCASII ISSUED A TA FOR ANOTHER ACFT ON 18R; HOWEVER; A RA WAS NEVER ISSUED. VISUAL SEPARATION WAS ACQUIRED AND MAINTAINED WITH OTHER ACFT. LOC WAS REINTERCEPTED AND WE LANDED VISUALLY WITHOUT INCIDENT. PROBABLY CAUSE WAS THREEFOLD: EXCESSIVE INTERCEPT ANGLE FOR THAT DISTANCE FROM THE ARPT; FAILURE TO RECOGNIZE HIGH INTERCEPT RATE DURING HIGH WORKLOAD TIME IN THE COCKPIT AND INABILITY OF FLT DIRECTOR SYS TO COMMAND A STEERING CHANGE AT THAT CLOSURE RATE.
