Watching the CS100 certification of the 5.5deg steep approach into London City, I wondered if there were any airports with steeper standard approaches. By standard I mean published. I couldn't find any.

I have seen very steep non-standard approaches, but this is not the point of this question.

          One of the steepest approaches within the CONUS is the LOC/DME approach to Aspen, CO, which has a final approach segment with a recommended approach glideslope of 6.59°.

            I nominate Sion, Switzerland (LSGS).



            The IGS for runway 25 is 6°. Here's the vertical profile of the approach plate:

            Another, ehem, published approach is the Space Shuttle's MLS runway 33 approach at Kennedy Space Center. 20° when light:

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
