1. A method of monitoring received instrument landing system (ILS) signals onboard an aircraft, the method comprising the steps of: performing, with a processor, a pre-approach sampling of the received ILS signals to thereby generate pre-approach phase ILS data; determining, in the processor, a statistical approach course of the aircraft based at least in part on the pre-approach phase ILS data; determining, in the processor, when the aircraft is below a predetermined activation altitude; and when the aircraft is below the predetermined activation altitude: performing, with the processor, approach sampling of the received ILS signals to generate approach phase ILS data; comparing, in the processor, the approach phase ILS data to the statistical approach course to determine a course deviation; determining, in the processor, when the course deviation exceeds a predetermined magnitude for a predetermined time period; and selectively generating, with the processor, an alert signal when the course deviation exceeds the predetermined magnitude for the predetermined time period.
