  narrower-than-usual runway can create an illusion that the aircraft is at a higher altitude than it actually is, especially when runway length-to-width relationships are comparable. [Figure 17-7] The pilot who does not recognize this illusion ... runway, upsloping terrain, or both can create an illusion that the aircraft is at a higher altitude than it actually is.

  upsloping runway, upsloping terrain, or both can create an illusion the aircraft is at a higher altitude than it actually is. [Figure 3-9B] The pilot who does not recognize this illusion will fly a lower approach. Downsloping runways ... terrain made featureless by snow, can create an illusion the aircraft is at a higher altitude than it actually is. This illusion, sometimes referred to as the “black hole approach,” causes pilots to fly a lower approach than is desired…

  takeoff flight path assessment may continue above 1,500 feet if necessary to ensure obstacle clearance. The actual, or gross, OEI flight path represents the vertical OEI climb profile that the aircraft has been demonstrated capable of achieving using takeoff ... weight, configuration, and environmental conditions at the time of takeoff. The OEI net takeoff flight path represents the actual OEI takeoff flight path that has been degraded by an amount specified by the certification rules to provide a safety margin…
