So 48 sec after GS capture he was at 530ft AGL and 11.5nm from the threshold. If we assume a speed of 160kts and a vertical speed of 800fpm then at GS capture he would have been at 1170ft AGL and 13.7nm from the threshold. I don't know their SOPs obviously but 1200ft at 14 miles would make me decidedly uncomfortable.
