4. If on an ILS, then altimeter setting would not be of prime
importance. You ride the beam down until you see the R/W (or minimum
altitude and go around) and land. The beam (needles) is/are the
governing factor on az and el.


But if the altimeter is not set correctly you don't know where the DH
really is.


Are you really watching the altimeter 7 miles out when locked on the G/S?
