- Contexto
- To quote a NASA test pilot: "On the glideslope, the altimeter is virtually relegated. My sources of information are, first the glideslope, second the bars of the FD and third, where present, call-outs from the co-pilot". While the fust two do not give absolute altitude information, they do tell the pilots where they are in relation to the desired altitude and at what point on the approach. Thus, while a pilot may in reality spend up to 25% of hislher time concerned with altitude information, it is not necessary to spend all of that time looking at the altimeter.
