Passage de rampe 65% -not quite the RT index.... need a little more search , probably approach angle!

When we were going into Basra during Sand Box One our covering AH-64s saw some VLRAs and were prepared to light them up when someone spotted an infrared strobe. They were some sort of French recon outfit returning from well beyond our lines.
