- How does ILS (Instrument landing system) work?
The ILS works using two components, a localizer and a glideslope The frequencies for the localizer are between 108 1-111 95 MHz and the glide slope between 329 15-335 0 MHz These frequencies are the carrier waves that the modulation you mention takes place upon
- How to choose the right ILS when the runway has more than one?
Consider e g KTUP, which has an ILS-Y and ILS-Z approach to runway 36 Here is the chart for the ILS-Y: This ILS approach starts at an RNAV waypoint GAGYE and therefore lists "RNAV 1-GSP required" as a requirement The ILS-Z approach looks completely different: This ILS approach has two IAFs: CEVSI on the OTB 12-DME arc and the VERON NDB It
- What is the difference between ILS and VOR DME?
The ILS localizer is more sensitive than a VOR radial, therefore providing more accurate lateral guidance The ILS has a glide slope providing vertical guidance A VOR approach does not have any vertical guidance (although with a VOR DME one can at least determine the exact point at which to start a CDFA (continuous descent final approach) and
- How precise is an ILS (Instrument landing system)?
ILS is can be very precise, but there are many factors that may compromise the precision When all these factors are avoided, automatic landing with no visibility is reliably possible The ILS installations are classified in three categories: CAT I: Category 1 allows for decision height (DH) no less than 200 ft (height, so above ground level)
- How do I know which airports have ILS and for which runways?
Here is an example chart for KLAX ILS 25R approach In the top right, it says the runway, the airport, and the approach type (ILS or LOC) In the top left, it says the ILS frequency, and just to the right, the runway heading On the very bottom, there's a diagram of the glidepath It lists the FAF, which is a "X" symbol with wide edges
- Where does the final approach segment begin on an ILS approach?
The ILS glide slope is intended to be intercepted at the published glide slope intercept altitude This point marks the PFAF and is depicted by the “lightning bolt” symbol on U S Government charts
- ils - What are the differences between Cat I, Cat II, and Cat III as . . .
The differences are in the demonstrated accuracy of the ILS or RNAV equipment Not sure if the question can be properly answered without writing a book, but digging into the documents linked by Jonathan Walters I extracted the tables below
- icao - What is different between a Cat IIIA, Cat IIIB, and Cat IIIC ILS . . .
ICAO and FAA CAT III definitions A CAT III operation is a precision approach at lower than CAT II minima Sub-categories are listed below
