A system, method, and computer program product for alerting an aircraft flight crew of an inconsistency during an instrument landing system (ILS) approach to a selected runway. The system includes a component configured to receive glideslope and localizer signals, and a component configured to determine aircraft approach angle to runway end. Also, a component configured to alert the aircraft flight crew of an approach inconsistency, if the determined aircraft approach angle to runway end is less than a threshold angular value and one or more parameters based on aircraft position and the received glideslope and localizer signals are met. The component configured to determine aircraft approach angle to runway end determines the aircraft approach angle to runway end based on aircraft geometric altitude, a vertical figure of merit, a horizontal figure of merit, runway elevation, and aircraft distance to runway threshold. |
