Flight Operations Quality Assurance, I think!

019360,
Thanks a lot. It seems that an accurate estimation of the touchdown point would not be possible without a glideslope, as to need it provide the angle. If you didn't have a glideslope, you'd have to assume the aircraft was on the 3° slope WRT the VASI to even come close to producing decent data.
