Section 3:
- Current glideslope deviation
This is the current deviation distance in dots from the active runway glideslope beam centreline (or virtual glide-slope if non-GS equipped). It is always calculated, irrespective of aircraft position.
- Current localiser deviation
This is the current deviation distance in dots from the active runway centre line. It is always calculated, irrespective of the aircraft's position.
- Maximum glideslope deviation
This is the maximum glideslope deviation from the active runway. It is always calculated, irrespective of the aircraft's position.
- This Maximum localiser deviation
This is the maximum localiser deviation from the active runway. It is always calculated, irrespective of the aircraft's position.
- Threshold crossing height
This is the height at which the aircraft crosses the runway threshold as it flies down the ILS glideslope.
- Touchdown distance
This is the point to point distance from the aircraft to the active runway touchdown zone. This touchdown zone is represented on most runways as 2 large white blocks either side of the runway centreline, approximately 1000ft from the runway threshold.
