We have to give low altitude alerts all the time. When we are using our loc bc mostly. But if the celing is at 800Ft or so the aircraft will dive below the clouds four miles out. The computer predicts that at that current decent rate the aircraft will not make the airport and "lala's" at us. We also get a call from the tracon. It is mandatory for us to tell the aircraft that they are getting an alert and tell them the minimum decent for the approach.
