GLIDESLOPE LIMITATIONS NOTED November 25 , 2008The following e-mail was sent by Chris Veal, Deputy Airport Director, in response to a question about the NOTAM announcing the restoration of the ILS at Smith Reynolds: Andy: Per your request, I checked on the restrictions on our glideslope system. Basically, there is a minimum restriction of 8 degrees each side of course on all glideslopes of the type we have here. However, because of terrain and other issues, our glideslope has a restriction of 4 degrees right of course and 7 degrees left of course. I believe that the glideslope will actually give an indication beyond these restrictions, but the FAA will not certify the indications to be accurate outside of these parameters. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Chris (Please note that pilots should check pertinent NOTAMs prior to any flight in order to obtain the latest official FAA flight information. - Andy Dale)
