Hey!

So if the AUTO GS requires a capture of the glideslope from below, can I use MANUAL GS to get the AC onto the glideslope from above if I'm coming in high? And then SWITCH to AUTO GS for the combined ILS beam approach once the GS is captured? I have been trying to figure this out -- the ILS on the 727 is much less forgiving to use than on the 707 Captain, which somehow gets me onto the ILS approach nicely almost every time. With the 727, there seems to be less of an easy transition. Any tips would  be appreciated here.
