Q

What are the two signals emitted by the localiser?

A

When looking towards the runway on landing:

  • 150Hz on the right
  • 90Hz on the left

(Lateral lobes are opposite)

Q

What are the locations of the 90Hz and 150Hz lobes on the glidepath?

A
90Hz = above
150Hz = below
17
Q

What is the lateral coverage of the ILS?

A

8 degrees either side of the extended centreline

18
Q

What is the max number of marker beacons on the ILS?

19
Q

What is the frequency of each marker beacon?

A
Inner = 3000Hz
Middle = 1300Hz
Outer = 400Hz
20
Q

What colour light does the outer marker illuminate?

A

Blue light

21
Q

What colour light does the middle marker illuminate?

22
Q

What colour light does the inner marker illuminate?

23
Q

What is the vertical range of a marker beacon?

24
Q

What is the range of each marker from the threshold?

A
Inner = 75-150m
Middle = 1050m (+/-150m)
Outer = 6.5-11.1km
25
When flying a back beam approach how can you use the OBI?
You can’t (acts in reverse sense)
26
How can you use the HSI when flying on the back beam?
Setting the course to QDM gives correct indications
27
What is the formula for ROD required on a glideslope?
ROD = ((glidepath angle / ground speed) / 60) * 100
28
What is the formula for height passing?
Height passing = glidepath angle * range from touchdown * 100
29
What is monitoring accuracy of the localiser for each category?
``` 1 = 35ft for 6 seconds 2 = 25ft for 2 seconds 3 = 10ft for 2 seconds ```
30
What is the monitoring accuracy of the glidepath?
Angle change by 0.075 degrees and/or reduction in power exceeds 50%
31
If a fault is detected what will the system do?
- remove morse code - cease transmission - display warning to ATC - CAT 2 or 3 may allow degrade to a lower category
32
What are the errors associated with ILS?
- bent beam | - scalloping
33
What is the critical area?
An area defined where all vehicles and aircraft are excluded during all ILS operations
34
What is the sensitive area?
An area beyond the critical area where parking and movement of vehicles is strictly controlled during low vis ops
