LOCALIZER VHF
MARKERS VHF
GLIDESLOPE UHF
Localizer
trasmit on 108 to 111.95 only odds number
amplitude modulated horizontal polarized, automatic monitor and A8W
antenna 300 m from end of runway
principle of operation
depth of modulation
Ampl signal/ carrior wave it use a modulaed frequency of 90 Hz for left and above
150 Hz for right and below, when the depths are equal it means the a/c is on the center line
localizer range
17 NM to 35°
25 NM to 10°
vertical coverago 0° to +7°
full scale deflection 2.5°
localizer back beam
can be use to non precisional approach
no glide path or marker
used for missed approach
outer marker
blue light dash continous for 2 seconds frequency 400 Hz trasmission 75 MHz
middle marker
amber light 2 sec of dash alternate with 6 seconds of dots DH for CAY 1 200 ft
0.4 NM
Inner Marker
white line 6 seconds of dot
frequency 3000 HZ transmit on 75 MHz… cat 2 and 3
Glideslope
vertical localizer used the same principle of the localizer for the 90 and 150
glide sloipe frequency
UHF 329 MHz to 335 MHz pareid with localizer frequency
amplitude modulated horizontal polarized
automatic monitor
A8W
Range
orizontal ange +-8° per 10 nm
vertical 1.75 - 0.45 angle
