This report is in regards to the ILS Z approach to RUT Runway 19. I have noticed what I believe is a discrepancy with the approach plate. The final approach fix for this approach is CEKRA. This fix is identifiable using the GPS or as 9.9 DME from the localizer. The approach plate shows the altitude to cross CEKRA on glideslope as 3;900 FT. On three consecutive days I flew this approach into Rutland. On each of the occasions I noted the aircraft's altitude at CEKRA to be 4;300 FT while on glideslope. Each approach was in a different airplane with a variety of weather conditions. I am not sure if it is an issue with the electronic glideslope; or an error on the approach plate. I am also not sure who best to forward this information to; but I think it would be appropriate to forward it to the proper area at the FAA.
A pilot reported the RUT ILS/LOC Z Runway 19 FAF CEKRA charted crossing altitude is 3;900 FT on glideslope; but his actual experience on three flights; has been a crossing altitude 4;300 FT on glideslope.
