Approach

Rate of descent down a 3 ° glideslope

Multiply groundspeed by 5 (or add a zero and half it) to give rate of descent

Height above ground vs distance to runway

As a glide slope check (or if G/S is not available, multiply nautical miles to go by 300 to give current height above the ground
