Flyers,

I just want some of your thoughts on this. My plane partner and I went out
last night to do some practice instrument approaches. He wore the hood and
I was the right-seat safety pilot.

It was obviously bad ATC service. I have had controllers forget and
let me fly through the final course, but they always apologized for
it and gave me above average service the second time around.

However, I do have to ask how you 'suddenly' ended up 1/2 mile final
and way above the glide slope. As soon as you realize you have been
given a bum vector, you should query the controller instead of
continuing that far into the approach.
