GPWS question
Suppose you're established on the ILS for a certain runway in a Boeing 737NG .
Starting from 1000' radio, you go manual thrust and manual flight, runway already in sight, no weather problems, but IFR not cancelled.
It's a bumpy approach with changing winds and you happen to slightly fall below glide slope, but enough so that the GPWS "Glide Slope" warning comes on.
The situation is immediately rectified and the plane brought back on glide slope.
My question:
Does the "Glide Slope" warning mandate a go-around?
Does this warning have to be logged or reported by pilots?
What's the policy?
Thanks

It's GPWS mode 5. The trigger is usually 1.3 dots low.
GLF, it inhibits at 150' AGL.
"Additionally, both alert levels are desensitized below 150 feet AGL, to allow for normal beam variations nearer the ground, and reduce the possibility of nuisance alerts."
