Do the Trigonometry

Just by memory so these numbers may not be exact....but i believe it is said if you are 10 feet high on the G.S that it will cause you too touch down approximately 1000-1500 feet further down the ry.
With a three degree glideslope, being ten feet above will cause you to land 190 feet down the runway.
