Hello,

Forget the fancy math's when you are talking approach angels and how they feel much steeper. Humans have not been programmed to fly, so we have an "error" in our brains. Vertical distances look about 10 times more than horizontal ones. That's why 10 m on the ground is short but 10 m in a tree is very high..

Fly Safe!
