question about approach angles

normal approach is 10 degrees..

steep is 15 degrees..

shallow is 5 degrees..

right??

when doing a steep approach in an r22, you level at 300ft agl until steep approach angle is reached - ie spot just above console. this looks more like a 30-40 degree angle to me. not 15 degrees.

likewise a normal approach looks greater than 10 degrees

can anyone explain this?
