Kpt40,
You have a point - I read the report again and it states that the descent was performed on autopilot - nothing about the approach!
Earlier posts have indicated that the aircraft intercepted the LOC at 4.8 NM at 1900 ft.,i.e. about 300 ft. high.
I remember that there was a discussion many posts ago about intercepting the GP from above on autopilot on the 737.
As far as I remember, it is not possible!??
737 drivers please correct me - if I am wrong!
