In aviation, instrument landing system glide path, commonly referred to as a glide path (G/P) or glide slope (G/S), is "a system of vertical guidance...

Glide Path is a novel by the English writer Arthur C. Clarke, published in 1963. Clarke's only non-science fiction novel, it is set during World War II...

vertical glide path, not to be confused with a locator, although both are parts of aviation navigation systems. A localizer (like a glide path) requires...

Wake turbulence is a disturbance in the atmosphere that forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the air. It includes several components, the most...

three-color visual approach path. Below the glide path is indicated by red, on the glide path is indicated by green, and above the glide path is indicated by amber...

A glide bomb or stand-off bomb is a standoff weapon with flight control surfaces to give it a flatter, gliding flight path than that of a conventional...

right. In 1997, Transpower adopted a strategy known internally as “the glide path”, and minimised spending on the grid and renewing assets. The rationale...

systems are glide path and the localizer of the instrument landing system (ILS). ILS uses a localizer to provide horizontal position and glide path to provide...

preventing deviation from the glide path. The National Defense Research Committee saw the idea to use pigeons in glide bombs as very eccentric and impractical...

the impact, the glide path indicator had been positioned just above the center "on glide" position, which means that the glide path had been captured...

first about being above the glide path, then about being on the glide path, then later reporting about being below the glide path. All of these statements...

shorter. Flying squirrels are able to steer and exert control over their glide path with their limbs and tail. Molecular studies have shown that flying squirrels...

altitude had been just under 5000 feet and its approach path was 600 ft higher than the normal glide path. Captain Fernandez noticed this and requested for...

aggressive descent and wrongly adjust to an unsafe glide path below the desired three-degree glide path.: 3  The autokinetic illusion occurs at night or...

pressure, and contributed to the unstablized approach and deviation from the glide path. According to the CVR, no altitude callouts were made by the crew during...

approach. The approach was performed without significant deviations from the glide path, and the aircraft passed over the start of the runway at a height of 15...

threshold, through which the downward extended straight portion of the glide path passes. It is usually found on the aerodrome instrument approach charts...

A hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) is a type of warhead for ballistic missiles that can maneuver and glide at hypersonic speed. It is used in conjunction...

pilot via radios, advising of power requirements, position relative to glide path and centerline. The LSO can also use a combination of lights attached...

designated by laser, typically in the infrared spectrum, and adjust their glide path to accurately strike the target. Since the weapon is tracking a light...
