When we were taxiing in, I grumbled about how terrible the ILS was - and

are very long, so he could move an awful long way fore and aft - and
he's quite a big guy...

So what was his purpose in messing up the approach?

To cause a distraction. This was a training flight, and you have to be
able to handle distractions in the real world - anything from trying to
get down with failed instruments or equipment to a leaky door seal
allowing rain to spray all over you.
