Re : the CAA report
What did I tell you?
Why in the hell so many people don't know how to check the glide?
What do we need to change this philosophy in our textbooks?
Other crashes?

It took only 15 pages out of the 200+ to find what I was looking for:

" ... If terrain had been a factor during this event and a marker type ILS was in use, the first available checkpopint may have been too late to prevent a CFIT event. "

OF COURSE! IF PEOPLE WAIT FOR THE MARKER TO CHECK THEIR ALTITUDE, THEY ARE PLAYING THE RUSSIAN ROULETTE!
