Default why is intercept altitude labeled "LOC only"?

In the NACO plate for ASH ILS 14, the GS intercept altitude (1800') is
labeled "LOC only". How can a GS intercept altitude apply to the LOC
approach and not to the ILS approach? Is this a charting error?

The note is a mistake. That note is supposed to appear only when the
G/S intercept altitude and the LOC FAF crossing altitude differ by more
than 20 feet.

The procedure will be corrected by NOTAM sometime next week (or so they
say. ;-)



Where the GS intercept and the LOC FAF crossing altitude differ by 214
feet in the Nashua procedure why would the note be a mistake?


The G/S intercept altitude and the LOC crossing altitude are both 1,800.
You are confusing G/S intercept altitude with G/S altitude at the
non-precision FAF (The P-FAF is where the G/S and 1,800 are coincident).
