Aterpster asked, I answered, simple...take it as condescending, thats up to you..havent seen any pic of the MCDU of that approach..I can get one...it could well be the database ends prior to the runway...following the ILS for that runway may well put you outside the lateral path for the assigned approach, most likely they would have flown the assigned and published approach which is the "Quiet Bridge" fms approach...slightly offset over the bay for noise abatement procedures..in later stages of the approach it joins the ILS track, but not sure if that late portion is coded into the database, or it's flown "out the window" from that point, so being professional pilots, they did indeed fly their assigned, published approach...
