  • Hey dude, you are getting confused with the glidepath which is the angle of approach.

    Glidescope is something different and part of the ILS kit.

  • Excelente

  • Hey nice vid dude, i just went there and filmed a corsair 747 myself :D im actually underneath the plane, if you go to maho beach you have to stand under the jets, its AWESOME :D

  • Im also pretty sure there is no ILS at St Maarten. Anyone out there Know for sure?

  • Well, Sint Maarten does not have an ILS and as said all approaches are either on the local VOR or just plain and simple: Visual. ATC will indeed correct and initiate a go-around where needed.

    For some airport at the world (for instance the old airport of Hong Kong: Kai Tak) pilots need a special license to land there. If this is also the case at Sint Maarten I don't know for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me...

  • lol, i should read more carefull before replying. my bad, sry m8

  • No dufus - a glide slope is the angle that an airplane takes to land on the runway!!!! I've only been using this for about 17 years!!!

  • "Sorry - but without a glide slope - an airplane cannot land!! "

    umm lol? you seriously think pilots dont train on ILS/"glide slope" failures and can only land the plane using a glideslope indicator?

    think again mate.

  • Sorry - but without a glide slope - an airplane cannot land!! The glideslope is the angle in which the airplane takes to land!! If there is ANY pilot that cannot land on ANY airport - they should not be in an airplane!! Basically today, you use auto pilot to get there and then turn on autoland - and enjoy the ride. the computer will do it fo you!! Just don't touch anything and screw it up!!!

  • but as far as i know there aren't no ils in tncm rwy 09. They land vor or manually so there are no glideslope or smth. I think the secret of the airlines is sendind their best pilot only to St. Marteen :D:D
