Many other airports specify in the rubric, words to the effect that an aircraft shall not establish on the glideslope below 2500' and thereafter shall not fly below it.

I have to say, the necessity to get positive clearance to descend on the glidepath can have a destabilising effect on the approach, and compromises a CDA. Some aircraft can be awkward to capture the glide from above.

Any thoughts?
