Threshold crossing height |
  |
Threshold crossing height (TCH). The theoretical height above the runway threshold at which the aircraft's glide slope antenna would be if the aircraft maintains the trajectory established by the mean ILS glide slope or MLS glide path.
Threshold crossing height (TCH) should be added to the threshold elevation for altimeter reading. Do not use TDZE (Touchdown zone elevation) Over 90% of missed approach accidents occur on the second missed.
