Glide slope intercept(FAF) for ILS is 1500ft for ILS36 at KPIE airport, and ATC clears you as 'maintain 1600ft until established cleared ILS36 approach.'
Let us assum that you are currently at 1600ft, can I descend down to 1500ft or just intercept GS at 1600ft?
Also, why does controllers mention 'maintain 1600ft until established~' even when A/C is already established on localizer (CDI centered) ?
