NOTE: All glideslope deviations will require a minimum of three corrections in order to regain optimum

Refer to Figure 13 for the following discussion of glideslope corrections.
High
Reduce power to increase your rate of descent and adjust nose attitude to maintain optimum AOA. As the
ball approaches the center, add power to reestablish and maintain the proper glideslope and
readjust your nose attitude to maintain optimum AOA. Almost immediately following this countercorrection,
a third adjustment will be required.
