Radio Altimeter???

Does this aircraft not have a radar altimeter? Every aircraft I ever flew in actual IFR conditions had a radar altimeter (some better than others). To my knowledge, no one has even mentioned it on this thread. I would think that once an approach is commenced the radar altimeter would be an integral part of the normal instrument scan.
