glide slope Flashcards
1
Q
what does the glide slope provide
A
vertical guidance
2
Q
what frequencies does the glide slope use
A
329.3 - 335 MHz (Ultra High Frequency)
3
Q
what is the glide slope tuned with
A
the frequencies of the glide slope are automatically tuned with with the LOCALIZER
4
Q
how is vertical position interpreted
A
vertical position is interpreted by the intensity of 90 Hz (top) & 150 Hz (bottom) signal carried OVER the UHF frequency & directed above (90) & under (150) the gs
5
Q
what is the width of the gs
A
1.4° (full scale deflection is 0.7° either direction)
6
Q
what is the range of the gs
A
up to 10NM
7
Q
what is the slope of the gs
A
3°
8
Q
what are the error(s) to the gs
A
false gs above the normal gs
