Probable cause

Interference with the localizer signal resulting in a Multipath condition experienced by CAL5148 while conducting an ILS CAT III (autoland) approach. This condition resulted in a runway excursion and subsequent go-around. The interference was most likely caused by a previous departure flying through the ILS critical area while departing the same runway.
