SD is set to standard 3 degree glide path but the glide almost always shows fly down even if perfectly aligned on the actual GP. Towards the later stages of the approach it vanishes altogether. Any‌ suggestions on the cause? https://www.instagram.com/liam548/

But I'm referring to the whole approach. https://www.instagram.com/liam548/

Chances are, your GPS is giving you a different altitude than your pressure altimeter in your aircraft, which explains the discrepancy. GPS altitude is notorious for such inaccuracies in the vertical plane.
