Airspace Structure; Chart Or Publication; Procedure
The MCO ILS 18R procedure has a charted altitude from YAGGO (IAF) of 6;000 feet MSL. This altitude results in turning final 1;000 feet above the glide slope with less than sufficient distance remaining to descend and slow in a stable manner.  Recommend the FAA review the min altitude from YAGGO to NAVAL and revise to 5;000 to allow a smooth transition to the glide slope. In the interim would recommend an ops alert outlining this threat and suggest refusing an approach clearance from YAGGO and instead requesting vectors to final to ensure intercepting below glide slope.
Air Carrier First Officer reported; for the MCO ILS 18R; from the IAF altitude to the GS intercept altitude there is not enough distance to make a smooth transition. Pilot suggests the IAF crossing altitude should be re-evaluated and be 1;000 feet lower.
