This paper deals with a steeper approach profile to increase altitude of the aircraft during approach. To allow a standard 3° landing and thus a higher rate of applicability the vertical approach profile is divided into 2 segments. It starts at about 8000ft AGL with a 4,5° slope. At about 1500 ft AGL the approach slope transitions into a standard 3° slope, intercepting the glide slope from above. The flyability of this approach has been tested in different fullflight training simulators of TUIfly, Condor and Lufthansa. It has been successfully tested with the following aircraft types: Airbus A320-200, Airbus A330-300, Airbus A340-600, Airbus A380-800, Boeing B737-800, Boeing B747-8, and Boeing B767-300. Results of the simulator trials and future activities are presented and discussed in this contribution.
