Descend On The ILS?
Ladies and gentlemen of the Air Traffic world - two quick questions for you.
(1) When I am being vectored for an ILS approach I am told to report established then when this is done told to descend on the ILS. Why can you not just be cleared for the ILS when given an intercept heading?
(2) To add to this if you are unable to report established quickly enough for whatever reason would ATC expect you to descend on the ILS anyway without specifically being cleared to descend on the ILS?
I hope that makes sense.
