A fluctuating signal can bring the aircraft into a bad situation really fast. I’m sorry, but I’m one of those lazy pilots who tend to be a bit relaxed when I fly. I don’t sit there and read out mile vs altitude every single mile when I do an ILS.
A sudden GS pitch down on short approach followed by GPWS and go around. Good call.
The GS should not have been on the air.
