ILS 24R at LAX[/URL]. If you're coming from the north transitions, you'll be at 4,000' approaching MERCE. But if you start your turn inbound at the LAX 057 lead radial, you will naturally intercept the LOC past MERCE, and you happen to be exactly on glideslope. What would you do? I'm pretty sure both options are legal, since those are minimum altitudes, not mandatory. But what do you think would be better in an interview?
BTW, this approach is very common at the SKW interview.
You have to be careful about doing this at LAX. Some of the ILS glideslopes will take you below minimum segment altitudes.
