SNIP!

3. If the threshold is moving downward relative to the mark,
your going to overshoot; threshold moving upward relative to
the threshold indicates your going to be short.

Have you ever explored the remains of General Patton's WW-II Desert
Training Center in the Mojave?

Thanks, Larry. I pretty much have that under control. What happened in
this case was I kept motoring in toward the airport at what I consider a
comfortable altitude AGL. You know, high enough to have time to do the right
things if the engine went sour, etc. By the time I decided to slow down,
drop some flaps, and establish a glide slope I was in way too close, too
high, and too fast. Like I said, if the VASI had been up, I could have cued
off that.

Patton is one of my WWII heros. Yep, I've been out there a few times.
It's one of the places to take relatives who come to visit.
For me, it's easy to close my eyes and hear the rumble, creaking, and
groaning of the tanks churning over the terrain, and hear the gunfire from
machine guns and cannon. Sometimes even hear Patton growling at his junior
officers. But , what the heck..., I've got an active imagination..., even if
the ghosts are real.
