Default NTSB report - ILS and ATC. How does it all come together?

I don't understand your calculation. At 2.5 miles from the touch-down
zone (assuming that's what it is), the GS should be about 750 feet
above the touch-down zone elevation. The pilot was way below the
glideslope.

3 degree G/s = 318.44 feet per mile. 2.5 (318.44) + 46' TCH = 842 feet.
