So lemme see... The airport takes away the vertical profile guidance for the approach, but still requires the aircraft to follow vertical profile as if the glideslope were still radiating. And if an aircraft fails to follow the non-existent vertical profile guidance, we blame the aircraft.
I can see an excellent money-saving opportunity for airports here, and bleak years ahead for the manufacturers of UHF glideslope equipment.
