Ceiling, by definition in the CFRs and as used in aviation weather reports and forecasts, is the height above ground ... phenomenon that is reported as “broken,” “overcast,” or “obscuration,” e.g., an aerodrome forecast (TAF) which reads “BKN030” refers to height above ground level. An area forecast which reads “BKN030” indicates that the height is above mean sea level. b. Pilots…

  Pilots must be alert when approaching the glidepath interception. False courses and reverse sensing will occur at angles considerably greater than the published path. 5. Make every effort to remain on the indicated glide path. CAUTION-Avoid flying below ... glide path to assure obstacle/terrain clearance is maintained. 6. The published glide slope threshold crossing height (TCH) DOES NOT represent the height of the actual glide path on-course indication above the runway threshold. It is used as a reference…

  There is also a DER crossing altitude included in the notes section, providing the pilot with a DER crossing height that clears all obstacles that penetrate the 40:1 OCS. (5) The obstacles are described with an inner limit from ... centerline. Left or right means they are greater than 100 ft from centerline. Both an MSL altitude and height above DER elevation will be provided for the obstacle that penetrates the 40:1 OCS the most. This allows the pilot…
