In design, we begin with a 3 degree GS with a 50 TCH. Usually, due to obstacles in the approach, the TCH is raised up. This is not encouraged because of the issues with the lights, markings, and runway length. Some procedures keep the 50 ' TCH and use a higher glideslope..this helps with some of the issues.

Looking at the chart, the ILS and RNAV TCH are both 60. The VGSI is set at 3 degrees with 72 TCH, so if you follow that, you are really long...

This airport is funny, looking at the missed, it requires 340/nm climb rate, tough to do in the heat...the reason? The controlling obstacle in the missed is the folded wings monument to aviation!




Look at SFO, especially after the accident, multiple TCH
