That does seem to be sort of a catch 22.... at some point seems logical when on the approach inside Hunda which is "Intermediate fix" that there isn't going to be a lot enroute traffic, one needs to eventually get established and do what you need to do to be stabilized.

If memory serves me correctly the aim says localizer signal certified 18 miles and G.S.at 10 miles
