What's a 12% glideslope? (asks a mentally retarded ATPL student)
What is meant by a 12% glideslope?
Is it 12% of a 90 deg from horizontal (a vertical 'glideslope'), i.e. 10.8 deg?
Or is it 12% of a 1-to-1 glideslope (45% angle from horizontal/vertical), i.e. 5.4 deg?
Or is it a twelve-along-one-down affair, ie ~7.2 deg from hortizontal?
[sorry for the stupid questions, I've confused the hell out of myself with this one!]
