On my last practice approach, I was vectored to intercept the LOC pretty close in and the 540 didn't switch until the last possible moment -- right at glideslope intercept -- which was about 10 seconds after wings level. That seems unacceptable. Should I have switched manually earlier when I realized that it wasn't going to do it automatically? I guess to, but I guess the question is when?
