If you are on the ARBEY ONE STAR RWY 27ALPHA established 083 from Baker to Paula you are PERFECTLY entitled to descend to 2500' and join the 27ILS at 2500'. This applies if you are conducting the ARBEY or WENDY arrival for rwy27.

This is regardless of day, night, imc, being visual or whatever may or may not be in the box and probably goes to show how "over-reliant" some are on it. The coding in the box does not always reflect the prescribed minima on the relevant charts, but reflects the way that the machine is programmed to fly the approach.
