Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC
Sam Spade writes:
That just isn't so. Jet aircraft are required to remain on, or above,
the ILS G/S whether on an ILS approach or on a visual approach.
But doesn't one normally fly below the glide path in order to
intercept it?
At the company I worked for, failure to tune and identify the ILS for a visual
approach to an ILS runway was a check-ride bust.
So it's a company policy, but not a FAR. However, such a policy does
not surprise me. Why deprive oneself of the information from the ILS
just because it is a visual approach?
