I agree Mr Foo, But it always comes back to the lost comms, thats whay on the ATIS there is the statement Expect ILS Aprch xx L/R, so that should you blow your valves while on vectors ATC know which aprch you will be doing. if this mesages stays up long enough we may find out why the UK is different. In Helsinki they cleared us ILS. It's just Pilots are unsure whether they are allowed to capture the glide while they are flying through and over it because of a busy frequency and made up instructions, like the ones you have pointed out.
Anyone else want to join in.
