An ILS has a Final Approach Point, not a FAF. This is the point at which
you intercept the glideslope at the procedure turn altitude. LOMs are
being decommissioned, and outer markers seem to be receiving little
maintenance, since they aren't required. You will see an altitude on the
chart, showing the altitude at which you should intercept the glideslope,
and this is the FAP. Its only practical use is to make sure you're on the
true glideslope.

According to the AIM's Pilot/Controller Glossary, precision approaches also
have FAFs, but with a lightning-bolt designation rather than a Maltese
Cross.
