Narrative:

While receiving radar vectors for a practice ILS approach to runway 17R, the aircraft in which I was acting as flight instrument passed through the localizer for 17R while turning from a radar vector heading of 60 degrees to a log intercept heading (vector) of 160 degrees. Before the turn was completed, the aircraft was near the runway 17L extended centerline. We turned to a heading 220 degrees to reintercept the localizer for runway 17R. Tul approach told us we were, 'lining up on the wrong runway,' at the time we were near the runway 17L extended centerline. I have idented 3 factors contributing to this: 1) I, as flight instrument, was not attentive enough to the actions of my student--my first flight as a cfii. 2) my student was slow to start the turn to intercept the 17R localizer. 3) our radar vector to intercept the 17R localizer involved a heading change of 116 degrees (17R final approach course 176 degrees). We received the vector 2 mi northwest of the final approach fix. This, coupled with the above two factors, is what I believe caused the occurrence. To my knowledge, my aircraft was not in close proximity to any other aircraft. To prevent this type of situation, cfii's must be attentive at all times and avoid complacency. I also feel the ATC specialists should allow a little more room for maneuvering and vectoring. Usually they do so.

Title: INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT ON GA IFR TRAINING FLT OVERSHOOT CENTERLINE OF 17L AND ENCROACH ON CENTERLINE OF 17R.

Narrative: WHILE RECEIVING RADAR VECTORS FOR A PRACTICE ILS APCH TO RWY 17R, THE ACFT IN WHICH I WAS ACTING AS FLT INSTR PASSED THROUGH THE LOC FOR 17R WHILE TURNING FROM A RADAR VECTOR HDG OF 60 DEGS TO A LOG INTERCEPT HDG (VECTOR) OF 160 DEGS. BEFORE THE TURN WAS COMPLETED, THE ACFT WAS NEAR THE RWY 17L EXTENDED CENTERLINE. WE TURNED TO A HDG 220 DEGS TO REINTERCEPT THE LOC FOR RWY 17R. TUL APCH TOLD US WE WERE, 'LINING UP ON THE WRONG RWY,' AT THE TIME WE WERE NEAR THE RWY 17L EXTENDED CENTERLINE. I HAVE IDENTED 3 FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THIS: 1) I, AS FLT INSTR, WAS NOT ATTENTIVE ENOUGH TO THE ACTIONS OF MY STUDENT--MY FIRST FLT AS A CFII. 2) MY STUDENT WAS SLOW TO START THE TURN TO INTERCEPT THE 17R LOC. 3) OUR RADAR VECTOR TO INTERCEPT THE 17R LOC INVOLVED A HDG CHANGE OF 116 DEGS (17R FINAL APCH COURSE 176 DEGS). WE RECEIVED THE VECTOR 2 MI NW OF THE FINAL APCH FIX. THIS, COUPLED WITH THE ABOVE TWO FACTORS, IS WHAT I BELIEVE CAUSED THE OCCURRENCE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, MY ACFT WAS NOT IN CLOSE PROX TO ANY OTHER ACFT. TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF SITUATION, CFII'S MUST BE ATTENTIVE AT ALL TIMES AND AVOID COMPLACENCY. I ALSO FEEL THE ATC SPECIALISTS SHOULD ALLOW A LITTLE MORE ROOM FOR MANEUVERING AND VECTORING. USUALLY THEY DO SO.
