Default ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

91.129 requires that the ILS be followed at a Class D airport. It does
not require that the full procedure be flown. If cleared for a visual to
an ILS runway, for example, the 121 crew must have the ILS tuned and
identified and use it once lined up with the runway.



The requirement in FAR 91.129 is that a large or turbine-powered airplane
approaching to land on a runway served by an ILS must fly at an altitude at
or above the glide slope. The claim by Newps was; "The airlines will always
fly the ILS if there is one up and running. They are required to."


I didn't infer that he meant the full procedure. But, perhaps he did.
Newps?
