One of the steepest approaches within the CONUS is the LOC/DME approach to Aspen, CO, which has a final approach segment with a recommended approach glideslope of 6.59°. I nominate Sion, Switzerland (LSGS). Lugano LUG/LSZA has an approach of 6.65°.

Captain Joe, thank you for the videos. I'm currently going through ground school and your knowledge is very helpful. Thank you.

Hey Joe, I’m 26 and I’m flying a Piper PA-28 Cherokee and I’m still in training. But your videos make me just that little more confident to keep going and get my PPL.

Well described Joe! I currently work as a technical flight inspector onboard Calibration flights performing flight Calibration of Nav Aids such as the ILS. Keep up the good work :)

On my current type (the CRJ 200) it will depict the ILS CDI and inbound course it self. But we fly the ils in "green needles" so we still have to tune the freq. Manually. It will show the identification when picking up the ils. The Learjet 45 needs to manually tuned and final course set manually set as well. But the radio unit will show the identification. My former Learjet 35 is ALL Manually AND the morse is the only means of identification!

As an ILS tech, that is a very good description of how an ILS works. Thanks!

Très intéressant, merci !

London city airport has 5.5degrees. But the steepest glide slope for anything landing like a plane has to be the space shuttle, at 20degrees.

@michaelmccarthy4615

The shuttle only landed at military installations. Nothing meaningful is published for anyone outside of restricted air space.

Cambridge (EGSC) is frequently used for pilot training for London City. During such training sessions the PAPI may be set to to 5.5° which then is published by NOTAMs and for the less smart bricks behind the yoke also the tower frequency. 5.5° made interesting approaches for me as a student pilot in a C172 :)

I'm really enjoying your videos about plans. It's easy to understand. I'm not a pilot though I love planes and piloting.

I've been working on ILSs for 33 years. 25 years with the USAF traveling around the globe fixing them and 8 years so far with the Federal Aviation Administration - National Airway Systems Engineering section. I've written several ILS simulation programs and a smart phone app to help techs understand how the ILS works and help them during FAA flight inspections (ILS Toolkit on Google Play). Your video is very informative from a pilot's perspective and I applaud you. I've learned some things that I didn't know. However, the details about how the ILS actually works is very over simplified. The diagrams I see on sites such as Wikipedia depicting two overlapping lobes of 90/150Hz are cringeworthy. A typical Localizer system consists of an array of 14 Log Periodic Dipole (LPD) antennas. These are very directional antennas working together to form a narrow beam. We also use arrays of 8 or 20 elements. 20 elements make the beam even narrower to avoid multipath reflections from hangars/buildings near the runway. A simple single-frequency Localizer has 2 RF (Radio Frequency) signals feeding the antennas (CSB and SBO). CSB is Carrier+Sidebands and SBO is Sidebands Only. CSB is amplitude modulated with 90 and 150Hz audio tones at a depth of 20% per tone and they are in phase. What drives the CDI needle movement is the DDM (Difference in Depth of Modulation) between these two tones. So with CSB only, it would always appear that you are on centerline even if you're not because the difference between 20% and 20% is zero. There would be no current flow in the CDI so it is centered. If a tech shuts off SBO we call this HMI (Hazardously Misleading Information). CSB is fed to the left and right antennas in-phase. So at any observation point down the center of the runway the signals from then left and right antennas arrive in phase and add together because they have the same distance to travel and are equal magnitudes. This creates a maximum CSB beam on centerline. As you deviate from centerline, the CSB lobe weakens because the signals begin to become out of phase until they are 180° out and a null occurs because they cancel. As you keep going, they start to become in phase again creating side lobes but they're weaker due to antenna directivity. Localizer frequency is from 108-112MHz so the wavelength (360°) is approx. 9ft (speed of light/freq). Therefore, the farther apart the two antennas are, the narrower the main lobe and the more side lobes you get. SBO is fed to the left and right antennas 180° out of phase so the SBO on centerline gets canceled (null) but we get SBO lobes on either side. On centerline all you get is CSB which is zero DDM (centered CDI needle). The SBO is modulated with 90 and 150 also but they are 180° out of phase. So on the pilot's right, the 150Hz sidebands from the SBO add to the 150Hz sidebands of the CSB and the SBO 90Hz subtracts from the CSB 90Hz. The opposite happens on the pilot's left. We call this "space modulation". I have an analogy when teaching newbies in class. 90 and 150Hz are in the audio frequency range so let's replace them with Country and Rock music. I ask them "what would you hear on centerline?" They almost always say "we would hear nothing". No, you'd hear country and rock at the same volume levels (no Difference in the Depth of Modulation). As you deviate from centerline, one would get quieter and the other would get louder depending on which side you're on. It's a "location-dependent" AM radio station broadcasting 2 "sounds" if you really think about it! The ILS does NOT use Frequency Modulation (FM) as mentioned. It is an Amplitude Modulation (AM) system. As far as Glideslopes, an important fact left out about most of them is that they are "image" systems (except for the less common End-Fire GS). This means that the RF energy from the 2 or 3 antennas (capture-effect, null reference, sideband reference) bounces off the ground making a mirror image as if the antennas above ground had mirrored antennas radiating from the opposite height below ground. This means that ground terrain topography is critical to their performance. We often have to work hard at getting a GS to pass a flight inspection because of terrain issues. Uneven terrain will cause "structure" problems meaning the glide path is not a straight line. Similar to a Localizer having reflecting buildings near the runway. Anyways, I love this stuff and could babble on forever (don't get me started on the Capture-Effect principle) thank you for your video!

I believe anyone who travels by plane should have at least an understanding of just how much knowledge, and skill, pilots must have in order to fly these magnificent wonders. I also believe pilots should be very well paid. If it were up to me, pilots would be making the kind of money Tom Cruise made just acting like a pilot in, "Top Gun"!! After all, these men and women are incredibly smart and skilled. They should be very well compensated for those reasons. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher!

My son (16) wants to become a pilot. Showed me how to fly gelooft Sim and your video's. And got me hooked.

Fantastic. So helpful.

6:09 For those interested; the math he is referring to would be solving for x in sin3°= (2500)/x for the distance to runway threshold from the plane, and tan3°=(2500)/x for the ground distance to the runway threshold. Any height can be substituted for the (2500) so long as the plane has captured the 3° glideslope. The expressions when manipulated for x are: X=(2500)/sin3° And X=(2500)/tan3° P.S. make sure the calculator is in degree mode and not in radian mode if you are inputting the glideslope in degrees.

@@matthewdnewton2437 You could find the glideslope from the runway to your position that way, but you still need to use the required glideslope for the runway you are given. So theoretically if you were too high you could use an inverse function to find you are at an 8 degree glideslope, but that doesn't help much if you need to be on a 3 degree glideslope for that specific runway. Could be useful to determine if you are too high/low if you haven't already intercepted the required glideslope though. All this assuming you have two of the three measurements.
