Does the computed glideslope indication meet obstacle clearance (i.e. stepdown altitudes and whatnot) even if the approach is flown a couple of dots low on the glideslope indication? Or does the pilot/autopilot need to be absolutely sure that the approach is flown smack in the middle or a couple dots high? I think that's kind of like asking, "Does the MDA meet obstacle clearance even if you go below it?". I think the answer to both questions is the same, "There's some TERPs-defined buffer built in, but from the pilot's point of view, all you gotta know is don't go below what the procedure says until you can see the runway". |
