At 5,500, which is their usual vector altitude in that area, they have to put you
on the localizer at least 5 miles prior to the NDB in order for you to not be
above the G/S. Unless you're arriving from the south, that ain't gonna happen,
handbook requirements notwithstanding.

I had almost this exact thing happen on the ILS 31 at SNS a few days ago. We
hassled the controller about it, and he didn't seem to understand what we were
complaining about.
