![]() ![]() The GS signal emits in the direction of the LOC front course and the frequency is paired with the LOC frequency. It helps keep guide you down from the FAF to the DA. The glide slope (GS) is the component of the ILS that gives vertical guidance to keep a proper path down to the runway. Both of which have different frequencies and different morse code identifiers. The LOC for RWY 18 is identified by I-PIE and the LOC for RWY 36 is identified by I-CWT. ![]() So for example, in KPIE there are 2 ILSs. All LOCs will have a 4 letter code identifiers, all starting with an I. This is good for identifying the LOC’s morse code. You can receive a signal outside of these limits, but they it is not considered reliable. This applies to bother the front and back course. The normal reliable coverage of the LOC is 35° on either side of the course centerline up to 10nm front the transmitter and then 10° of either side up to 18nm. We will focus on the front course for now and talk about the back course later. Looking at Image 1 (ignore my horrible drawing) you can see both the front course and the back course of the transmitting range. The LOC antenna is located at the far end of the runway departure end. This is what gives the pilot navigation assistance to stay lined up with the runway centerline. MHz, respectively, for the glide paths, both being first adjacentĬhannels (300 kHz spacing) to the Sequence Number 2 glide pathĬhannel.The localizer (LOC) gives lateral navigation. The case of the localizers, assign frequencies of 334.1 MHz and 333.5 Sequence Numbers 12 and 19, however,Īlthough providing wide frequency separation from Sequence Number 2 in Sequence Number 2 pairs the localizer frequency of 109.9 MHz with The second ten sequence pairings, it may be necessary to selectĬertain pairings out of sequence in order to meet the minimumĮxample: Referring to Chapter 3, 3.1.6.1.1, it will be noted that ILS Where it is necessary to make assignments in both the first ten and That, provided they are met for the localizer element, the glide pathĮlement is automatically covered. Selected sequentially, as required, from the following list:Īttachment C of Annex 10, ( 2.6 Deployment of ILS frequencies) provides some details about this selection:Ģ.6.5 In general, when international use of ILS systems is confined to the pairings listed in Chapter 3, 3.1.6.1.1, the criteria are such Landing system do not justify more than 20 pairs, they shall be Localizer and glide path transmitter frequencies of an instrument Pairing was carefully designed so that ILS could work without interferences ( harmonic and heterodyne) in certain conditions without being below the radio horizon of each other.Ī preferred pairing table is provided for such use:ģ.1.6.1.1 In those regions where the requirements for runway The pairing table was built back in 1956! (Fifth Session of the COM It's ITU which is responsible for the global (civil) use of the frequency spectrum. ![]() ICAO decisions in radiocommunication matters are subject to the frequency allotment and protection decisions taken under the auspices of the ITU during the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), held every four years. ![]() The localizer / glide path pairing table is part of Annex 10 of the Convention, Volume I, paragraph 3.1.6.ģ.1.6.1 The pairing of the runway localizer and glide path transmitterįrequencies of an instrument landing system shall be taken from theįollowing list in accordance with the provisions of Volume V, Chapter For aviation, the international body is ICAO and ICAO Chicago Convention is the main framework used to ensure international aviation operations are possible, safe and fair: However this local decision happens after an agreement already found in international bodies. As always the country is responsible for the final decision, so FAA/FCC will decide in the US (but see 's comment from an insider below), and I believe so does the MIC in Japan. ![]()
