Prior to push I was notified by the crew about the GS on Runway 6 being NOTAM'd OTS at FPO/MYGF. I asked the CA if he wanted me to send him the NOTAMs packet via acars I would do so; but the only thing that I saw regarding the Glideslope at the destination was that it would be OTS only during the hours of construction which this would not be affected by. We both agreed that the flight could be completed safely and proceeded on with the flight. At this point; since I was not asked to send the packet of NOTAMs I was under the assumption that the CA was simply asking verification on the situation. Once on the ground I received a call from the CA who told me that Nassau Center instructed them to intercept the the GS while on the ILS and was cleared for approach; and it was at this point that they realized the GS was OTS. When they brought this up to someone on the ground they were told that it was in fact not operational. I'm not sure if the information given by [our software] is inaccurate or if the NOTAM simply hasn't been generated.Going off of the information available to us; I don't necessarily feel that myself or the crew did anything wrong in this situation. From the NOTAMs available to me; I didn't see any potential issues; and the crew was instructed to intercept the GS from Nassau Center while on approach.
After being cleared for the ILS 06 approach we captured the glideslope and started descending earlier than we should have. We realized we were too low on the approach around 900 feet and started to climb back to around 1300 feet to intercept a normal glide path. We notified Tower the GS was not working. They said they know. We verified with the paperwork and dispatch that the GS was not NOTAMed out today. We were also cleared for the ILS 06 Z approach.
Air carrier Captain and Dispatcher reported that after commencing the MYGF Runway 06 ILS the Captain discovered the glideslope was out of service and ATC confirmed. The flight crew and Dispatcher referenced the NOTAM before departure which stated the glideslope would not be OTS at the time of their arrival.
