Q

Civilian aircraft will receive the radia signal from the VOR transmitter and the DME signal from the TACAN transmitter.

A

Military aircraft can receive radial signals from either transmitter depending on which frequency is selected

Q

ILS

A

Instrument Landing System (VHF System)
Localizer, Glide Slope, DME, Marker Beacons.
Up to 4 separate NAVAID signals working together. Each signals/components is automatically tuned when the ILS frequency is selected on the AC nag radio.

Marker Beacons

A

Provide situational awareness during final approach. Xmit a signal straight up in an elliptical pattern. 3 different marker beacons in ILS system
Outer, Middle and Inner Marker

16
Q

Localizer Frequency Signals

A

90Hz Left and 150Hz Right

17
Q

Glide Slope Frequency Signals

A

90Hz Top and 150Hz Bottom

1000ft from the Runway Threshold, crossing the runway threshold at 50ft.

18
Q

Aircraft Navigational Equipment

A

VHF navigation, glide slope, TACAN, ADF, DME and marker beacon receivers.

19
Q

VHF Navigation System

A

Capable of receiving Very High Frequency Omni-range (VOR) signals VOR provide bearing info and display it on HSI or RMI. HSI may also display a pointer that displays flight direction either TO or FROM the Nav station.

20
Q

Glide Slope System

A

(UHF) Automatically tuned whenever an ILS Localizer freq is selected on the VHF nav radio. Glide Slope displays deviation indications on the ADI or HSI during ILS approaches only

21
Q

TACAN System

A

Tactical Air Navigation
Determine the relative bearing and distance to a selected station. TACAN receiver is the only nag receiver capable of determining distance from the radio station. TACAN and VOR are similar

22
Q

ADF System

A

Automatic Direction Finder
Capable of receiving bearing info from a NDB for display on the RMI. Bearing pointer on the RMI shows the direction to the station.

23
Q

Distance Measuring Equipment

A

DME. Receives a time coded signal from DME xmitter and calculated the time it took to reach the AC. Thats converted to a distance in NM and displayed on the DME readout.

24
Q

Marker Beacon Receiver

A

Illiminate lights and trigger aural signals when the AC flies over the OM, MM or IM beacon emitters during ILS approach

25
Q

Radio Magnetic Indicator

A

RMI - Will give the crewmember the best picture of the AC position in relation to a NAVAID.

26
Q

Radial Signal

A

Is a magnetic bearing extending OUTWARD from a VOR, VORTAC or TACAN navigation facility.

27
Q

HSI

A

Horizontal Situation Indicator

Combination of a heading indicator, Radio Magnetic Indicator, course indicator and range indicator (DME).

28
Q

HSI Displays

A

heading, desired course, course deviation, bearing, range, and direction of flight TO or FROM a NAVAID.

29
Q

FLIP

A

Booklets containing approach and departure information are called DOD Flight Information Publications. Color represents specific world region

30
Q

Enroute FLIP

A

Provide basic airfield information and flight procedures, airfields, ICAO identifiers, runway information, types of ground support, specific restrictions, cautions, available navigation aids, list of radio frequencies.

31
Q

Terminal FLIP

A

Essential departure and arrival procedures. Contain airport diagrams, instrument approach procedures, SID, radar instrument minimums, and START.

32
Q

Low Altitude Terminal FLIP

A

Procedures bellow 10,000 feet

33
Q

High Altitude Terminal FLIP

A

Procedures above 10,000 feet

34
Q

TCN

A

Terminal Change Notices
Published at the midpoint of each FLIP cycle, usually 4 weeks. Contains only SID, STAR, IAP, Radar Minimums, and airport sketches that have changed or been added since publication of the current FLIP.
