Lets say you're cleared for the ILS but the Glideslope is NOTAMED out. Should'nt the controller say cleared for the LOC instead or is it kosher to say the ILS? Sorry that I'm t lazy to look it up![]()
Unless there is another LOC only approach published, the controller would have to use the title of the published approach in use. If that is an ILS approach then that is what it must be called. The controller may say that the glideslope is inop along with the clearance.

Actually, even if you weren't too lazy, I would bet you would have a hard time 'looking it up'.I'm t lazy to look it up![]()
References, please. I'm not interested in hearsay.

I challenge any person who has, or will respond, to quote a hard reference to this.
If the controller has to say "ILS" instead of "localizer" if only "ILS" is used for the approach, how come the approach chart includes a localizer only approach MDA with a time to MAP chart?

To add.... An ILS is a precision approach which does not require the MDA with time to MAP.. however if the glide slope goes down then this approach becomes an NON-precision approach and you need to have this information to make the approach without the glide slope.. So as an example your cleared for the ILS and suddenly the GS goes OTS you would have to go missed approach if you did not have this MDA and MAP times so the FAA in its wizdom has this information as a reference only for this situation.. On the profile view of the apch... it also shows you on the profile view the distances for the NON-Precision procedure.. as well as alternate minimums for a Straght in apch, and circling apch.. all this is for Notamed out navaids...
Hope this helps
Hey, thanks for the reference. I've heard that the controller is rerquired to say 'glideslope unusable', but I never hear it, even when it is notam'ed out, so I was wondering where this came from.Ok...here you go.

Page 203 of 492 is where "Approach Clearance" begins. Proper phrasology is "Cleared I−L−S Runway XX Approach, glideslope unusable.”

We were cleared for the ILS into Burbank one day when they had a test signal on the glide slope transmitter so it showed on glideslope no matter where you were. ATIS was garbled because of interference so we never got GS OTS but figured it out early on approach. The airliner behind us got a call of low altitude alert by the tower. They replied they were right on GS. Tower advised them it was notamed out of service. Unfortunately all they have to do is clear you for the ILS and let you figure it out.
Yes agree, controllers handbook aside, makes no sense to clear someone for an approach that is out of service, too bad it takes killing people before things get fixed.WOW, I've had an instrument rating since 1953 and in all those years I've seen countless lapses in the NOTAM system in this country. I understand there has been a change (again) in the publishing procedures recently. Let's hope it is for the better, but... any bets on that? <grin>
Be careful out there
I don't suppose you know of a reference in a common pilot procedures manual, such as the Airman's Information Manual? Since this comes from a controller's manual, it isn't readily accesable to the pilot community. Maybe it's in the AIM and I don't know it.
d. The name of an instrument approach, as published, is used to identify the approach, even though a component of the approach aid, such as the glideslope on an Instrument Landing System, is inoperative or unreliable. The controller will use the name of the approach as published, but must advise the aircraft at the time an approach clearance is issued that the inoperative or unreliable approach aid component is unusable.
