I have seen both systems operate and only saw one any aircraft descend early when been given Cleared ILS.In Honkers it wasn't a good idea to descend early on 25R as you would hit high ground.
However with the UK system,Report established,descend ILS etc,I have had 3 cases of aircraft descending far too early,and there are a number of other cases at this unit.
Does the UK system work? Is it a case of dozy pilots? Even the Chinese airlines didn't descend early in HK
PS.Why is ''Thames radio'' a Band5 unit?(See other threads)
