I had a question today that I've never considered, and need the
experience of the group.



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?
