Reasons Why That Wouldn't Work.
  1. The red ILS "INOP" flag on the pilot's Glide Slope or HSA would pop out and
  2. The pilot would land by other means
  3. Possibly on another runway at the same facility
  4. Or by GCA on the same runway
  5. Or maybe shoot a localizer back course
  6. Or in another city
  7. Or at a nearby AFB or NAS or MCAS
  8. So don't get downright zany
