I'm curious about the difference between the two. I understand that practically, the LOC is much more sensitive and is not "radial" specific like a VOR. I would expect that given the type of signal, any NAV that can be used for VOR navigation can also be used for LOC, but I don't know the technology well enough to say for certain. Are there any certification standards or hardware (NAV radio itself, CDI, etc.) specifics that would be relevant? Can anyone answer and possibly elaborate on the reasons why or why not?
