If you're flying a PA, you cant just decide to fly a NPA. The LOC approach typically has several step down fixes so to descend down to your MDA after GS failure, may set off a MSAW. I'd suggest going missed and setting up for the NPA (LOC) approach. |
But the ILS to LOC wasn't assigned, nor planned. Yes, they are 2 different approaches and you were assigned the ILS, but I would continue the approach. It's not like your cleared for the ILS and then secretly saying your going to do the LOC approach - based under the circumstances your required to the LOC approach because the GS failed in the middle of the approach.
I would continue the approach - its not like its a big juncture here to compensate for it; one should be starting the times and planning for a GS failure anyway.
