But at that point you don't care about the GS. Just go down to 2000

Bear with me Robert on this one, as I really consider myself a newbie when
it comes to IFR!

Can you be cleared for the approach INSIDE the final approach fix, which
would be the GS intercept point.

Wouldn't you have to be cleared for the approach before the final approach
fix?

If the original poster was approach and above the glide slope intercept
altitude, I was always told, that is a no no since you would get a "false
glide slope" read?
