Default False glideslopes -- NZ60

Are you speaking to outer marker or Compass Locator at the Outer Marker?

Although the FAA hasn't decommissioned existing OMs, it is no longer a

Well maybe not technically decommissioned, but the ILS27R at Oakland
was redesigned and they stopped using the outer marker (Cases) in
favor of a DME fix about 1/2 mile away. The outer marker is still
there, and I believe it shows up as a grayed out fan marker on Jepp
plates, but not at all on government plates. Are there others? I'd
guess so.
