Interestingly, the 3rd runway at HKG is being built to the north, parallel to the existing 25R, which, prima facie, would require an ILS track even closer to the mountain wouldn't it?
Yes, about 1600 metres closer. Still just slightly south. But will require 3.1 deg glide slope to miss with the required intermediate MOC.
Seems to be a recurrence of similar incidents involving 787. Recall some issue with the FMS not capturing the LOC but continuing to follow the GS down. A BIG No No on R25!
