This brings up the difference bettwen FAP and FAF. An ILS has a final approach point, not fix. It occurs at GS intercept. This may be well before the maltese cross or a little bit after it. You're not actually considered to be on the final approach segment untill you have intercepted the GS regardless of where the Maltese Cross is.
