   Well, as I said it can follow the appch laterally and vertically down to   
   the runway, the landing is not going to be pretty for sure, more a crash   
   landing and would not like to be on it for sure.   
      
   And as I said in the other post the FMS can tune to the ILS and do the   
   appch using the navaids, again not a pretty landing but probably survivable.
