I don't think the Dutch controllers would have given a clearance that meant absolutely that the accident crew would have had to intercept the GS from above, otherwise that should have come up before now.
Read the report (which could be useful for your next contributions...).
The trainee pilot was sent short, high and fast on the ILS. Identifying this and rejecting it within a high pressure, high traffic environment isn't an easy thing. The captain should have made a point in going around at
2000' since nothing cleared him to go lower. It's obviously not so simple since a majority of crews just go for it.
chucks, you might rightly think you are capable to safely perform this kind of interception, but accepting it is just comforting ATC in pushing the limits further. Making a point on the use of acronyms in a forum is one thing, but this would be more useful in the air. Intercepting a GS from above beyond the FAP should be a no go for all of us
