And what happens with the so called steep approaches? i.e. EGLC has GS 5.5º, or ENTC has GS 4.0º...

I've been trying to find a good definition of what you should consider as a steep approach without any luck. I just found on the brand new EU OPS that you have to establish procedures and get some kind of approval from the authorities for glide slopes > 4.5º. But once again, there is no definition available, unless you consider that if they speak for approvals if the GS > 4.5º, then no approval is required for GS < 4.5º... But aircarft and crew qualification is required if you intend to use ENTC ILS to rwy 01 due to the steep angle!!!! What happens with those GS between that "standard" of 3º and 4.5º?
