Techmonkey Posted May 31 Posted May 31 After a hiatus I decided to shake off some A10 rust and revisiting the campaign again. The PAPI lights in Batumi are all over the place and anyone with some survival instinct would not dare to use them. What are the exact triggers for the glide slope so I can pass it?
Sabre-TLA Posted June 2 Posted June 2 (edited) For BFT04 we check the altitude you are at approximately 4nm from the end of the runway. Typical glideslope should be about 3 degrees. If you are lower than 310m ~1000ft then you are below the glideslope. If you are higher than 405m ~1328ft then you are above the glideslope. In between these ranges at 4nm from the end of the runway would put you within the glideslope. I found that a common rule of thumb is 300 ft of altitude for every nautical mile from the runway. So at 4nm 1200 ft would be ideal. Close enough for this type of mission. In BFT09 you get to use the ILS so we actually check the position of the needles to determine accurate glideslope.

Techmonkey Posted July 5 Author Posted July 5 (edited) Sorry for late reply. Thanks, I found a way to work around the issue though. Trim out for on speed AOA at around 8DME I put the FPM on the runway threshold which sets me on a 3° glideslope and I just correct once in a while. Works so far. Edited July 5 by Techmonkey 1
