That's rubbish. You said the FMC is programmed from the start

The approach can be entered into the FMC at any time.
No, it can't, fjukktard

Well actually it can, even before take off


Can't be entered at all. Now way anything flying will do an ILS all by
it's lonesomes from takeoff just by using the FMC.

Sorry I have to disagree, an approach can be entered before T/O, in the
latest FMS it will autotune, and if approach is preselected on the panel
it will auto tranfer to "green data" and fly the ILS appch.
