Landing on a sloping runway with different wind velocities

"Mike Isaksen" wrote: "Tony Cox" wrote in message ... Its more than an academic question for me. My home airport has a 3 degree runway, and some local airports are even steeper. I had to dust off my old HP calc for this and came up with an assumed 3000 ft runway being 157 ft higher at one end than the other?!?. Where is this "home airport"? You shouldn't need a calculator for this one. 3 degrees is 1:20. Just like an ILS glide slope.
