Okay. But if you're on a precision approach you'll be below the inversion, no? Mike Rapoport wrote: I agree in principle but in actuality it never gets cold enough in the US to make a difference. The only times that we have really low temperatures (-40 and below) there is an inversion. Mike MU-2 |

The pigs will be flying long before there is a 5F day at OAK. Mike MU-2 Oh yeah, I forgot to add that those pigs will be using WAAS and LAAS equipment to make their approaches into Oakland when it happens |

It seems a bit strange... . DH on the ILS at MBS is only 200 feet AGL and that is with no temperature correction. In the winter we regularly see below zero F and it's not rare to see it at minus 20 at night Yup, but temperature doesn't effect the glideslope, just where you put the MAP along that glideslope. On the so-called "Baro-VNAV" approaches, the glideslope is defined using barometric altimeter data, so the entire glideslope will be shallower and closer to the ground on a cold day. And if there is a low-level temperature inversion the glideslope won't even be a straight line. |
