Cleared2land, what would you expect with lost comms then?
Chatterbox, I am not sure I agree,
Once cleared to a level and put on an intercept heading, ATC and other aircraft would expect you to maintain until locked onto the LOC then at glide capture descend to the MINIMA.
Flying into Brussels, Charles de Gaulle and Munich where they do parallel approaches aircraft are cleared ILS, after being put on intercept headings from different levels depending on their distance out. I have been cleared ILS from about 14+ miles with 5 aircraft ahead, this is the ICAO standard it is not unsafe.
My question i suppose is, what makes Britain think it knows better and why do we have a different system?
