AFAIK, flying at or above the glideslope only guarantees
obstacle clearance fairly close in to the airport --
roughly 4-5 miles I believe, that being the distance from
the outer marker to the threshold.

So flying the glideslope from 15 miles out might not be
such a good idea -- check the chart for hard objects
and airspace.
