You may not descend below 2200' until after crossing WESIE.


That doesn't make much sense to me. Since at WESIE, if you are on the
glideslope, you are at 1862, you'd be intercepting the glide slope from
above, which is a Bad Thing. Granted, you're probably only four or five
dots high (guessing from the graph) but it's still high.

Jose,

It seems that you missed the beginning of this thread:

"If I am flying a localizer approach..."

When flying a localizer approach, by definition you do not have access to
GS information.
