Are there ILS approaches out there where descending by the glide slope on a segment of the approach that's outside the final approach segment would cause the aircraft to descend below the no lower than altitude for the segment?
Here's why I'm asking. It's not uncommon for pilots to intercept the glide slope before the published glide slope intercept point and then to track it all the way down. If doing this could be dangerous or might not provide the protections ILS approach are designed to provide, it might be a better procedure to descend using step downs to the no lower than altitude for each segment only intercepting the glide slope at the published point for all approaches.
