Question

What is the inclination of the glide slope with respect to the moving flight deck?

(a) 3°

(b) 5°

(c) 3.5°

(d) 4°

I got this question in final exam.

My question is from Carrier Landing Systems in section Landing Systems & Air-Traffic Management of Avionics

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) 4°

The best I can explain: The approach path, often called the glide slope, is in the vertical plane containing the runway center line and is inclined 3.5° relative to the sea at the touchdown point and 4° relative to the moving flight deck.
