No it is me that is having the senior moment....guess what I was trying to say ( not very clearly) to CC who glibly suggested an ILS approach is that at that the higher speeds required and the urgency of the arrival, a textbook setup on the glideslope would be unlikely. My guess is that accepting the ROD you get from a very tight circuit at the speed and weight would be unlikely to give you 3 degrees unless you had practised it 10 times the day before in the sim.

The report should be interesting reading so I shall refrain from more senior moments and, in the pursuit of clarity, have some claret myself.
