consult with your colleague and go for the ones you feel make sense.

In today's cadet world you might not get the answer you were expecting. They might go with the 'take the worse' option = 3R and call a G/A on you at 500'. Their experience is less than yours and they have been brain washed into 'advocacy' and don't let the old fart in LHS kill you.

But I do remember the days in Canaries where there were left & right T VASIS and showing different. Firstly I've never found out why there are 2 sets, and secondly, when the ILS was alive, why any at all, especially as neither on them showed us on path, but the G/P did. Interesting lessons.
Why was night time base training removed, and no glide path approaches also? If this was an XAA edict then they are culpable of contributing to the dump down training.
