Airbus SA steep ILS approach
I can not find any limitations on how steep an approach you are allowed to perform on the 320/321.
Is a 4' GS OK ? |
Airbus SA steep ILS approach
Not sure about ILS 'limitations' but the A320/321 is certainly capable of a 5.3 - 5.6 degree descent (VOR) into KTM. The approach does drop back to 3.0 at 3nm though.

Do what you need to do but be stable at 1000'. Seen one guy set 5.9 degrees once...not good. NPA-selected,selected.
Nothing worse than PNF calling "sink" or worse the airplane shouting "sink rate-pull up" |
Chambery with 4.5° glideslope is no problem, but you have do be gear down, flaps 2 before capturing. And a speed below 170. And watch out for any amount of tailwind...

BJV is a 3.9 degree ILS on to 28 and in my type you have to be gear down and significant flap before intercept to have any hope of reaching stable criteria. I could well imagine 5.9 degree would be sporting to say the least.
