Can a failed Glide Slope also void the Localizer approach?

Are there airports with ILS approaches such that if the Glide Slope
component failed or went OTS, the entire approach would be un-executable
by regulation? I’ve always assumed that with the GS OTS I’d just revert
to the LOC, but are there approaches were the full ILS is approved but
the LOC only isn’t? In other words, are there precision approaches where
vertical guidance is required and there is no non-precision alternative?




As another has stated: If there is a published localizer only approach,
or if the ILS approach has published localizer only minimums, then you
can proceed with a localizer approach.

If there are no localizer only approaches or minima charted, then I
would suspect you cannot do the approach under IFR.

I think we all understand the concept of Localizer only approach
minimums, but my question was "... are there approaches were the full
ILS is approved but the LOC only isn't?" Does anyone know of a specific
airport?

I have not looked at every ILS to see the answer, but I
would guess that some standard or special [private] ILS
procedure at an airport with many obstructions or in the
mountains could require a GS and not be allowed otherwise.
To get the answer you need to reread the TERPS manual or
perhaps call Flight Standards in OKC and ask the experts.
At the pilot end, fly what is authorized on the chart and by
NOTAM.
