The KHQU Notam appears to possibly contain a non-standard contraction. ILS RWY 10 GP “U/S” is not listed in the Notam Contractions dictionary AFAIK.
Perhaps it should have been “OTS” for Out of Service?

I thought the weather wasn’t bad at the actual time, though it was well before sunrise. I had read that the glide-slope to rwy 10 was Notam’ed out, well prior. It is a nice runway.
They had been up a good while, what I saw.

PAPI was also out...too complacent or rushed to land the other direction or make an overhead circuit? They were a little high, a bit edgy to continue the straight-in under these circumstances if it worked...too edgy as it turns out. Still waiting for NTSB factual, curious if they'd been in there before as that could have upped their confidence.
