Default Step Down or Track Glide slope on GPS overlay approach

Mooney wrote:
I think what we are saying is that even though Jeppesen says the VNAV
GS ensures being above the step-down fixes and GARMIN wrote approved
software to make sure the GS needle properly indicates the Jeppesen-
provided vertical guidance, the pilot needs to explicitly note whether
the step-down fixes have been passed and not follow the GS unless it
is consistent with these restrictions. So, it is ok to fly the
glideslope, but you must perform these checks as the approach
progresses.

Seems like a good double check yet lets me keep the stablized
approach. The other issues of MDA vs DA and the possible advantage of
entering VFR earlier if you dive & drive are noted. Thanks to everyone
who responded.

Google for "constant angle non-precision approach" for lots of
discussion about the pros and cons.
