          Sample FAA Knowledge Exam Question

          To remain on the ILS glidepath, the rate of descent must be _____.
          a. decreased if the airspeed is increased
          b. decreased if the ground speed is increased
          c. increased if the ground speed is increased
           
          Answer: C. The rate of descent required to maintain the proper glidepath on an ILS approach is dependent on the aircraft's ground speed.  If the ground speed increases, the rate of descent must be increased.  Likewise, if the ground speed decreases, the rate of descent must be decreased.
