on an approach to an ILS facility, ATC clears the aircraft initially to 5000' , the platform intercept alt of the ILS (FAF) is at 2000' The aircraft has captured the localiser. There are no procedures or height constrictions between the aircraft and the FAF - thus on a long final.
ATC now clears the aircraft for the ILS approach. What is the more correct procedure- to stay at 5000' (at this stage still below the glide slope) and intercept from 5000' or to descend to 2000', and intercept the glide slope from the published platform height?
