ILS Descent Procedure
If a procedural ILS has an turn inbound platform altitude of 2000' and the FAF (FAP) at 1700', do you have to descend to 1700' (e.g. in V/S mode) before taking the G/S? Or can you remain at 2000' inbound and then follow the G/S?
An example is the ILS approach into AUH rwy 31. I think it is OK to descend to 1700', fly level and then capture the glide but wouldn't it be more "elegant" to remain at 2000' and then capture the G/S. Is this legal?
I think the requirement for descent to 1700' is related to the LLZ only approach.
Any comments?????
Yes - those who work for the same Co as me will twig as this is in our current check.
