"I mean...shoot...if you're shooting a LOC approach, you don't even need to have GS reception!"

Nobody was talking about shooting a LOC approach. You were not cleared for the LOC approach. The LOC and ILS approaches are infact, two seperate approaches.

"What if you were in the clouds the whole time?"

Then you obviously wouldnt have disregarded GS indications.

"That's the whole point to having higher minimums during a LOC approach. As long as you don't go below those minimums, and you haven't reached the MAP yet, then anywhere along the LOC at that altitude is safe."

Where did all this discussion of a LOC approach come into play? The OG was talking about GS (which a LOC obviously doenst have).

If you were break out, disregard course guidance (specifically GS indications), re-enter IMC, why wouldnt you just set up for the GPS? The FAC is the same. ATC will never know. [sarcasm]
