Default ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

Should those mistakes happen at an airport with an operating control
tower, the tower controller would catch the error and "nudge the
airplane back where it belongs".


Only if he can see the airplane. That's frequently not possible in
reduced visibility situations, such as those that would necessitate an
ILS approach in the first place.


Is the control tower at your field 800'AGL?
