Sierra99 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Gentlemen... I've been doing a little experimenting lately flying ILS approaches to Batumi and Vazani. It seems to me the glide slope is very very shallow. Shouldn't it be around 3°? I'll post some tracks this weekend but I was just wondering if this have been identified as an issue or if anyone else thinks its shallow.

WildFire Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Its not, Ive flown a ton of precision approaches and if you line it up right it should always be pretty close to the 3 degree line on the hud.
Zakatak Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I too feel like the glide slope is too low, but this is probably because I like to drop 30 degrees of flaps on my Cessna and sideslip down to the runway with all 4 PAPI's on white. :music_whistling:
effte Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I verified the ILS at Batumi as being more within specs than you would really expect back in the beta days. There's a thread on it somewhere, but I'm on a dumbphone at the moment. BTW, in official terminology (as specified by ICAO) the vertical guidance portion of an ILS is the glide path, not glide slope. Tell your CPL friends, half of them probably don't know yet... ;) @Zakatak, good man! It'll be a cold day in hell before you catch me dragging myself in on the three degree in anything with just the one engine, unless the situation dictates it (e g when on the GP). A few seconds of power loss is all it takes to ruin your day - there's never enough clearway! Four white is at 3.5-3.58. Thats a glide ratio of better than one to fifteen. Better have some speed to spare if you're flying the pink on the top PAPI! :) Edited June 27, 2012 by effte ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
