Default ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

It may be the localizer that you are interfering with, not only the GS.

Well, if it's only a problem when an aircraft is on the ILS and it's below

I'm not sure that's the only time it's a problem. It just the minimum
that the tower is required to keep the area clear. I would expect that
ILS can be interfered with regardless of the current weather.



I think the idea is that even a distorted GS will be accurate enough to get
you to within 800/2 of the runway.
