Muzungu,
You will notice that many non-prec approaches in Europe have been redesigned so as to fly a constant 3.0º path from FAF to rwy threshold. At least those which are ILS overlays anyway. Of course, normally you will not end up flying these approaches. In other corners of the world, however, be careful and make sure your calculated path takes you above the minimum altitudes. One more thing - Always have your PNF call out the progress of the approach clearly: e.g. "8 DME, 50 ft high", "6 DME, on path", etc.. Good luck with your transition. You will end up loving th "bird".
