Same same

Yep, happy to back up richo with the same rule of thumb that we use at my abode and also where I use'd to teach.


If -
@ 6nm from the threshold : 1 dot +/- slope = 100 ft

Each nm either side of the 6 nm position, 20 ft can be +/- from the deviation.

ie @3 nm from threshold -: 1 dot deviation = 40 ft (100 - 60).

ie @9 nm from threshold -: 1 dot deviation = 160 ft (100 + 60).

Hope this helps

PS dunno if it's true - might have to wander off the glideslope one day
