Wonder why so many of our LTC/TRI/TRE advise cadets and old folks' like me there is no need to do so once GS captured as ILS has a sufficient protected area...
I’d say it is taught, certainly my airline has an SOP for it - however this generally happens at 4mn and relates to an OM or chart published point. Certainly carries significantly more relevance when in IMC. Not sure what the cloud ceiling was here but these guys had 10K viz. Still reckon airmanship dictates that the ILS was the wrong choice of approach. Airmanship, now there’s a thing!
