Reference ILS or LOC RWY 35 at Asheville Regional (KAVL). You are proceeding on the feeder route from SUG to BRA at 7,000. Asheville Approach tells you to maintain 7000 until established on a segment of the approach, cleared ILS runway 35. My question is this: When can I descend to 5200? My old USAF regs permitted me to descend on a HILO (HILPT) at IAF station passage. The only descent guidance I see in the AIM or Instrument FAAHs is for Procedure Turns which would (in this case) permit me to descend at station passage as well. Is there specific descent guidance for HILPTs or do we use the PT guidance?
