No wonder the world is still trying to get over Dive and Drive. Approach charts like that, in 2011, with no help at all in flying past that limiting step with some semblance of a stable sink rate/approach are not doing anybody any favours.
The FAA is not in the "favors" business. It is an ILS approach, so the odds of anyone having to fly the LOC/DME IAP are quite small.
Out of interest, Aterpster, how would you suggest someone fly that LOC approach without VNAV?
I wouldn't. My suggestion would be to join the 21st Century with a WAAS navigator so they could select the LPV IAP to the same runway in the event of an outage of the ILS GS.
