Landing at MIA to the east it is a luxury to intercept the glide slope from below on an east arrival. Your downwind is way above glide slope intercept altitude when you turn base to final. You will make your copilot think you are really stupid when you keep letting the aircraft intercept the altitude before glide slope and keep going around when all others are landing. Either keep going around or lower the altitude to let the glide slope intercept first, your choice. It rarely rains in FLA so you can see the airport 30 miles out. I know it rains but they are those fun tropical things.
