First of- many thanks to all for your valuable inputs.

Oz- You said "The only thing that I would draw to your attention is that the worst aspect of a "false GP" is that it provides premature descent below the actual GP.The amount of deviation below the real GP can easily exceed the protection that is provided to ILS procedures." I remember reading (my books are currently borrowed with a friend- hence I couldn't check right away) in the GSP that a false Glideslope ALWAYS occurs ABOVE the actual Glideslope- hence it can get you HIGH with high ROD on the approach... but not low.....

I agree with a lot of people here that have mentioned its a good idea to intercept the glide from below or AT.... the thing we try to do on our descents is to be AT or below the glidesope at intercept. The OPS CIRC we have out implies that a "2.5NM LEVEL segment is REQUIRED".- this is the real issue-- IS IT or NOT?????

Capt. AIR- Thanks
