is anyone aware of a difference in legal definition between glide slope and glidepath
Notwithstanding the previous posted image, FAA Pilot controller glossary says the following (also reproduced in Jep glossary):
GLIDEPATH−
(See GLIDESLOPE.)
GLIDEPATH [ICAO]− A descent profile determined
for vertical guidance during a final approach.
GLIDESLOPE− Provides vertical guidance for
aircraft during approach and landing.
I understand it to mean that glidepath is ICAO terminology whilst glideslope is FAA, but they are the same thing. PANSOPS Vol 1 refers only to glide path.
