- yes, it would be - you would be above the platform altitude of 4470'..........................
3 degree slope equates, roughly, to 300' per nm which, at 8 miles, would be 2400'. With an airfield elevation of 1688' and a slope at 8 miles of 2400' makes 4088' (QNH) which, unless I'm mistaken, is below the platform of 4470' QNH (2795 QFE if you wish). Obviously this needs to be moderated if there is high ground under the approach. But, that's what we are paid for no?
Where's the 'thunk'?
Also, 500' at 11 DME based on the IRK when you should be at 3300' should be setting massive alarm bells off, G/S Loc or not!
Through adveristy to the stars?
