Last, I am done with this thread. I can leave it to you guys (especially God's gift to aviation Purdue grads) to turn a safety reccommendation into a flamefest.
1)OK, but should you rely on that as your sole GS indication? I'm not saying I haven't done it, but we as pilots are taking a risk when we do it.
2)That was not mentioned at first, but based on that I would say that depending on the altitude at which the deviation and stabilization occured I also may have continued the approach.
3)No flaming intended, but before you go jumping down somebody's throat and telling them to save it for their Chickenhawk, you may want to actually to specify why you continued. Perhaps if you mentioned the GS stabilized above 1000 ft AGL, or some other specific detail then others wouldn't have jumped in.
