ILS or LOC RWY 1 have vectoring altitudes of 5000' msl about 2700' AGL. All VFR aircraft would/should not be below pattern altitude for Ashevill airport witch is 1000' AGL

I fly with GPS in 4 of my planes HiTec Aurora 9 and believe me 400 feet is not very high most pattern and Imac guys exceed that regularly, not to say what the Turbines do for Altitude.
