Slope grade, what is it?
Stupid question, I know...
What is "slope grade" and how do you figure it out? Would it be the same thing as runway grade? I know what that is from being a student pilot, but we don't have any runways around here that have any real grade to them, so I can't visualize it.
Helping the idiot would be very cool, thanks. :-P

Yes - a glide slope is basically the same thing. Think of it as you approaching a landing strip in your plane. basically 100 ft per n/mile depending on aircraft. or 5% glide
