From: last time I looked I was still here.
All recent posts all very good and very technical. Now simple question for us simple pilots about everyday simple operations.
It is common at major airports to fly ILS G/S down to about 800' with 2W
2R. Then about 500' staying on G/S gives 3R. Most F/O's pull up to fly the PAPI and the G/S goes 3/4 dot Hi.
I say fly the G/S. Some F/O's have been beaten into "fly the PAPI's."

Opinions and what do you do? Taking Mk.1 eyeball always into account.
