Monkey madness
your situation is covered by the second example in the ATSIN..."report established on localiser, maintain xxxx feet"
My point was specifically regarding the first example. I take Roffa's point, but sometimes we're not dealing with Whizzy ATPL's with triplicated autocoupling black boxes, and sometimes it's nice to know the pilot has the LOC sorted
, ready for the (more dangerous) descending bit
Just a requirement for the pilot to report established without being actually told to would be nice.
