The ILS receiver failure is not the primary warning you would act on, on the A320 for instance an ILS receiver failure would give rise to an AUTOLAND warning light, and you would react to that.

Q1. You can't do an autoland on a localiser only approach. No correct answer
Q2. As far as I can tell there are two possibly correct answers. The Boeing procedure for a failure before alert height is to downgrade to a lower autoland status with higher decision height, the Airbus procedure is to go-around.
Q3. You would continue with the failure annunciated. No correct answer.

I'd be interested to know where the questions came from, that might give us a better possibility of answering them. I'd also welcome inputs from others, Keith?
