You fly over feature less terrain and over water at night to a runway . You are most likely to feel...
A) Closer so approach is high
Further away so approach is close
Does this refer to Q29 Set 5 HPL book (answer is d)?
The RWY will appear closer than it is when approaching over water or featureless terrain so a correct approach path will appear high. If this illusion is corrected for, an undershoot may occur.
I think this causes a similar illusion to bright runway and approach lights or a very clear night.
