Dead link, hound dog. One has to log in (free if anyone wants to. No spam.)<div>To save others searching, aircraft on those approaches are about 2,900' above ground 9 nautical miles from the runway end, then start descent. If its on the ILS, they maintain 3.0-degree descent and arrive less than 1/4-mile from the runway end at 200' AGL. Not much problem for RCers. On the localizer approach they can initiate a steeper descent, but have to level off at 600' AGL until about 1-1.5 miles from the runway end.</div><div></div><div>We fly at one club near the outer marker (usually 4.5-5 mile fix) for the local airport. Aircraft are visible to us, they are about 1,600 AGL, but we are no threat and its almost impossible to pick out our flying site, much less a 6'-span model.

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Vectoring altitudes are as low as 1800' agl ... we have to RC fields in the Phoenix aera limited to 400' AGL by the County because some one got too close to an FAA Desiginageted flight examinor with a large IMAC plane and the FAA talked to the county and the county said 400" max ... There was also a nit wit in Milwaukee thet was flying his FPV glidet within 4 miles of MWC and at 4000'msl and posted it on UTUBE he also lost the model because at 4000' the 2.4 went out of range ...excuse the color I just noticed it ...</span></span></span>
