Referring to a document that us on the other side are meant to know about, ie CAP 493 "MATS Part 1", there is separate phraseology to cover intercepting the LLZ, descending on the ILS, and a combination of both, ie "when established on the localiser, descend on the ILS......". At least in the UK, there is the answer.
Would appreciate that if controllers have no descent restrictions from LLZ intercept onwards, that they use the latter routinely, it reduces R/T levels and really helps if its a tight turn on, ie little or no level flight before GP intercept. Before the ATC community respond, I know that there is meant to be a period of level flight before GP intercept, but in the real world it often helps if it is kept to a minimum.
