Right, but if NACO wants to say "LOC only" it should be for a separate
specification of 1800', not for the (sole) one that's designated as the
intercept altitude. For example, in SWF ILS 9, there's a 2100' intercept
altitude, and separately from that there's a minimum altitude of 2100'
specified for the approach segment leading up to the OM; the latter
altitude is marked "LOC only".

So the SWF chart seems right, but not the ASH chart.


That chart is wrong, too.



Ok, but at the SWF chart makes sense. It's wrong only in that the extra,
LOC-only altitude is superfluous.

Why does it make sense?
