EVERYBODY aims to stay on the correct glidepath. If you go low, you will blow a noise violation or hit something, or be immediately reported in pprune as 'low and dangerous flying'. If you go above, you will probably get reported by your flight recorder and have an unpleasant interview with the flight manager for exceeding rate of descent near the ground. WHATEVER defect you have, you always carry out a normal on-glidepath aproach at normal speeds. Very, very infrequently, it is possible that a no-flaps landing at high speed is carried out, STILL on the normal glidepath. But nobody should ever think any pilot intentionally flies a steeper approach or a shallower approach that a normal glidepath for whatever reason- it just does not happen, so please all try and not imply any pilot ever flew steeper or shallower approaches EVER. Never ever......Understood?
