Regarding capturing from above in my previous post, we are talking about no more than 500ft above the cleared height in most ocassions, so no big deal as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sure we've all be trained the same irt false glideslopes.

My point was more to do with the a/c being at a position where both aspects need to be captured at around the same time due to be vectored in early to intercept the loc.

That for me can be the most challenging part of taking vectors for an ILS approach.

That is, of course, aside from using the NDB hold and approach

SND;

Flew into Plymouth City last month, albeit on a visual pattern. Great night out though.
