General ILS Question

Navigation Data SID/STAR/APPR
1

Referring to KLAX ILS RWY 24R for example… What is the purpose of the step down descent? I see multiple fixes as you near the runway. If controllers always clear you to just before the outer marker on approach and bypass all the other fixes, what is the purpose of these other fixes?

Thanks. Just wondering.

Hi,
I´m not a real pilot nor familiar with this area therefore we can only hope that someone from the KLAX area can answer this. Sorry.

Cheers
Richard
