sloping ground ounder the arrival. Whats the problem. Monitor your height above the terrain with the rad alt and cross refer it to the chart to ensure that the glideslope is giving you correct information.

Basic airmanship.

The ground appears to be 2500' under the IAF thus I would expect to be at 1900' AGL on the rad alt with the 2500' check coming in before the IAF and the descent point. Then I would brief falling terrain toward the airfield. Glasgow 05 has it, Gatwick has it, Salzburg circling is a wonder and Innsbruk is great fun. Seems like a total lack of SA to me.

All briefable items.
