I'm glad when the company puts notes in the company pages of the Jepps that there is a similar airport nearby so watch out. They definitely should do something like that if there's been that many landings at this airport by accident.
It is an FAR that you have to be at or above the glideslope for the landing runway if available,.. Which therefore means localizer must be tuned/identified.
You have to be above the 3 degree glidepath. I doesn't necessarily have to be electronic. The three-to-one rule is acceptable as well as the vasi/papi. But many companies require use of the ils if available.
Alright....I'm tired of arguing about this. Here is the FAR reference 91.129. There is no 121 Reg that modifies this either. It states (also in 91.130 Class C, and 91.131 Class B) that if operating a turbine a/c to a runway served by an instrument approach with vertical guidance the operator MUST operate at or above it....that means it must be tuned in and used.
I would love to see somebody try and explain their way out of that...
