The Glide Slope in aircraft design refers to the path that an aircraft follows during its descent for a landing approach. It is typically associated with precision approach systems, such as the Instrument Landing System (ILS), which provides vertical guidance to ensure that the aircraft descends at the correct angle for a safe landing. Here’s a definition and explanation of the Glide Slope:
Formula: The formula for calculating the altitude loss per nautical mile (NM) along the glide slope path is:
