Answer:

555 ft per min

Step-by-step explanation:

For the problem above, we can use the IAP chart and the ILS RWY 32 L approach. If we consider an electronic glide slope of 3 degrees, with the table of Rate-of-Descent in the IAP chart. Adjusting the angle of descent to 3 degrees and shifting the ground speed to approximately 105 knots, the estimated rate of descent is 555 ft per min.
