    In regard to maintaining the glideslope at a Class D airport, it was said that turbine powered aircraft have to maintain the glideslope. But that particular section (91.129(e)(3)) doesn’t mention turbine aircraft, but says “Each pilot operating an airplane” – no mention of a large or turbine airplane. So technically don’t all aircraft have to stay on the glideslope?
