Final Approach
I read an interesting article about something that I'd subconsciously thought about but have never sat down to do the calculations.
My based airport has a 0.68% degree slope (based on calculating the data at Airnav.com) and I can tell the difference. I believe it to be more noticeable than the commenters makes out (1% as negligible).
What say ye?
Here's a link to the article:
