Using ILS guidance at low altitude requires good beam quality. Some Cat 1 installations suffer low altitude beam bend and the GS may suffer more than normal ‘parabolic’ distortion, the latter taking the aircraft high.
Please remember that the LOC for this ILS is offset.

Also be mindful that the HUD generates its own GS reference line.
