You are flying an ILS approach in IMC conditions when the Glide Path (GP) signal is lost. What will you do?

  • A
    Maintain the current vertical speed, and continue descending until the ILS minima.
  • B
    If time permits, revert to the published LOC approach procedure, or go around.
  • C
    Continue down until the standby GP transmitter on the ground takes over.
  • D
    It is mandatory to perform a missed approach if the GP signal fails.

ICAO Doc 8168
Chapter 5 FINAL APPROACH SEGMENT

5.4.3.4 In the event of loss of glide path/MLS elevation angle guidance during the approach, the procedure becomes a non-precision approach. The OCA/H and associated procedure published for the glide path/MLS elevation angle inoperative case will then apply.

Note: Please bear in mind that the pilot can initiate a go-around during the procedure whenever he/she thinks it is necessary. The above regulation offers the opportunity to continue the approach as a NPA - but it is still up to the pilot what he/she decides to do.
