Instrument Rating Exam · Practice

A narrower-than-expected runway creates the illusion of being:

• A.Too LOW — the narrow runway appears closer than it really is, so the pilot corrects upward
• B.Too FAST — the narrow runway exaggerates the apparent ground speed on final approach
• C.Too HIGH — narrow runway appears further/higher than normal, pilot corrects down and flies low
• D.On the correct glidepath — runway width has no effect on the visual approach picture
