A Simplified Directional Facility (SDF) provides a final approach course similar to with that of the ILS localizer, although it is not as precise as the Localizer. It does not provide glide slope information.

...

The approach techniques and procedures used in an SDF instrument approach are essentially the same as those employed in executing a standard localizer approach, except the SDF course may not be aligned with the runway and the course may be wider, resulting in less precision.

...

SDF is not explicitly mentioned in PANS-AIM. Hence, in it is noct not covered in this coding guidelines.
