Yes. It is the descent path, and I have added a line representing a 2.85 degree glide slope. That’s the angle reported for the 28L PAPI. You can see how they were too high, and then over corrected.

I am also building ones for vertical rate, and ground speed. That will really open your eyes.

All will be based on distance from runway threshold.

I believe I can also reconstruct the flight path. The plane made a 220 descending left turn onto final approach.
