wrote: A high approach is generally not a problem. Some fields, such as Boeing Field in Seattle, require you to fly the glideslope. There they want you to stay on the VASIs in order avoid traffic conflicts with helicopters. For my information where and how is this indicated? Typically, the ATIS carries a phrase along the lines of "pilots are reminded to fly the VASI" or something like that (while I used to fly there frequently, it's been a couple of years so I don't recall the exact wording). They don't actually explain WHY the request is being made, but it is because of the helicopter traffic. This is news to me. I've never been chewed out by a BFI controller for making a steep approach. I always interpreted the phrase to mean don't go below the VASI. Morris |
