And this is a higher altitude than when reaching the OM/FAF, so that you have time to configure the aircraft for a stabilized approach (gear down, approach flaps, power controls rate of decent adjustments if get slightly above or below GS). Most often the GS intercept is normally a minimum altitude, so intercept the GS at that altitude or higher.

And those are identified on the profile view of the approach plate (see my previous comments above). For that, the GS intercept is either a specific altitude, or no lower than a specific altitude. Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) Computer processor.

Such as "using a specific FMC." or "on the afcad designed approach to specific airport." or "flying a specific aircraft with a specific autopilot coupled nav system." then "what is the designed ILS GS intercept altitude for that specific situation." The reason I bring this up is that many answers all go back to the real world design of a precision approach. Flight Simulator X Acceleration Expansion Pack.

With each new thread that asks this question (what altitude to intercept the glideslope) I wonder if there is actually a more specific question being asked.
