In real instrument flights, the approach chart has the crossing altitude for each waypoint and the connecting segment will never have a slope greater than the final glideslope so the only physical option is to intercept the final slope "from below" | |

When you are too high, it will still fly the approach, as if it was going to descend, but you have to be below the altitude constraint for the waypoint to actually capture the GS. So basically it just flies above the runway and does not descent at all. | |
