A system for monitoring a landing approach of an aircraft, comprising: an aircraft instrument landing system configured to receive ILS signals and to calculate a glideslope deviation based on the ILS signals, the glide slope deviation depicts the discrepancy between the current and the intended glideslope; a runway database coupled to the glideslope monitor with runway data obtained from an airport, Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RASS), or airport mapping database (AMDB); a glideslope warning unit coupled to the aircraft ILS and configured to selectively operate in at least one of a default mode with at least one glideslope alert function, the at least one glideslope alert function being an excess height alert function, a first mode in which the at least one glideslope alert function is disabled, or a second mode in which the at least one glideslope alert function is re-enabled; a glideslope monitor coupled to the glideslope warning unit and configured to retrieve the designated glideslope angle from the runway data in the runway database and to evaluate a current glideslope condition by comparing a designated glideslope angle to a glideslope check value, wherein the glideslope warning unit is configured to operate in the default mode prior to receiving the ILS signals, wherein the glideslope warning unit is configured to operate in the first mode upon receiving the ILS signals, when the glideslope deviation is less than a first predetermined threshold, and when a difference between the glideslope check value and the designated glideslope angle is within a second predetermined threshold, and wherein the glideslope warning unit is configured to operate in the second mode when the glideslope deviation is less than the first predetermined threshold and when the difference between the glideslope check value and the designated glideslope angle exceeds the second predetermined threshold. an aircraft instrument landing system configured to receive ILS signals and to calculate a glideslope deviation based on the ILS signals, the glide slope deviation depicts the discrepancy between the current and the intended glideslope; a runway database coupled to the glideslope monitor with runway data obtained from an airport, Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RASS), or airport mapping database (AMDB); a glideslope warning unit coupled to the aircraft ILS and configured to selectively operate in at least one of a default mode with at least one glideslope alert function, the at least one glideslope alert function being an excess height alert function, a first mode in which the at least one glideslope alert function is disabled, or a second mode in which the at least one glideslope alert function is re-enabled; a default mode with at least one glideslope alert function, the at least one glideslope alert function being an excess height alert function, a first mode in which the at least one glideslope alert function is disabled, or a second mode in which the at least one glideslope alert function is re-enabled; a glideslope monitor coupled to the glideslope warning unit and configured to retrieve the designated glideslope angle from the runway data in the runway database and to evaluate a current glideslope condition by comparing a designated glideslope angle to a glideslope check value, wherein the glideslope warning unit is configured to operate in the default mode prior to receiving the ILS signals, wherein the glideslope warning unit is configured to operate in the first mode upon receiving the ILS signals, when the glideslope deviation is less than a first predetermined threshold, and when a difference between the glideslope check value and the designated glideslope angle is within a second predetermined threshold, and wherein the glideslope warning unit is configured to operate in the second mode when the glideslope deviation is less than the first predetermined threshold and when the difference between the glideslope check value and the designated glideslope angle exceeds the second predetermined threshold.
