The 6 mile turn means we blew throught the localizer and my situational

NDB at the OM and went from there. Also, I see how staying ahead would help and
will try that on my next flight.

As someone else said, probably the single best thing is to attain and
maintain situational awareness. If you can't say your position with a
mile or so at any point in time, then you are in trouble. The main way
to get there is practice. I remember during my training feeling like I
was always doing something on an approach. After flying in the system
for 5 years, I actually found myself bored while flying an ILS. I'm
just back after a 4 year layoff and haven't yet attained the boredom
stage again.
