MD80 CAPT RPTED MIA APCH CTLR WAS NOT USING CORRECT ATC PHRASEOLOGY WHEN CLRING ACFT FOR AN ILS APCH WITH AN INOP GS.

Narrative

THIS RPT IS BEING SUBMITTED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES ONLY. THERE WAS NO VIOLATION COMMITTED. WX AT MIA WAS 1500 FT BROKEN TO OVCST. ATIS SAID ILS APCHS IN USE TO RWY 9R&L AND RWY 12 WITH GS RWY 9L OTS. WE BRIEFED LOC ONLY APCH FOR RWY 9L. ON DOWNWIND; WE HEARD CTLR ISSUING OTHER ACFT APCH CLRNCS FOR ILS RWY 9L. I HAD FO ASK APCH IF THE GS WAS IN SVC AND HIS RESPONSE WAS 'IT'S ON THE ATIS.' WE TURNED FINAL AND WERE GIVEN AN APCH CLRNC FOR AN ILS RWY 9L. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY GS INDICATIONS SO WE KNEW THE GS WAS STILL OTS. ONCE PARKED AT GATE; I CALLED CLRNC DELIVERY (THE LEAST BUSY FREQ) AND ASKED HIM IF THE GS WAS OUT AND HE SAID YES. I TOLD HIM THE APCH CTLR WAS NOT USING PROPER PHRASEOLOGY TO ISSUE THE APCH CLRNC. HE AGREED WITH ME AND SAID HE WOULD MENTION IT TO THE APCH CTLR. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A FOLLOW-UP TO THIS SO THE APCH CTLR WILL USE THE PROPER PHRASEOLOGY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU MIGHT GET A FALSE GS AND TRY TO FLY IT; THINKING THAT IT IS NOW WORKING. FROM THE J-AID; AIR TFC PROCS; SECTION 4 ARR PROCS; 5-4-6(D) APCH CLRNC: 'THE NAME OF THE INST APCH; AS PUBLISHED IS USED TO IDENT THE APCH; EVEN THOUGH A COMPONENT OF THE APCH AID; SUCH AS THE GS ON AN ILS; IS INOP OR UNRELIABLE. THE CTLR WILL USE THE NAME OF THE APCH AS PUBLISHED; BUT MUST ADVISE THE ACFT AT THE TIME AN APCH CLRNC IS ISSUED THAT THE INOP OR UNRELIABLE APCH AID COMPONENT IS UNUSABLE.'
