ILS LOCALIZER TRACK [4 records]

Record 1 2021-02-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

... the air traffic controller shall not issue the heading instruction to the aircraft below 120 m(400 ft) above the runway threshold elevation, and the heading instruction shall not exceed 45 degrees track difference with the ILS [instrument landing system] localizer course or MLS [mean sea level] final approach track.

Record 2 2019-09-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

When deciding the length to be provided, consideration should be given to providing an area long enough to contain overruns and undershoots resulting from a reasonably probable continuation of adverse operational factors on a precision approach runway, the ILS localizer is normally the first upstanding obstacle and the runway end safety area should extend up to this facility.

CONT

When the track bar is used in conjunction with a VOR [VHF omnidirectional radio range], a lean out of 10° to one or the other side from the signal causes a full deflection of the indicator. If the same pointer is used as an indicator of the ILS localizer, a full deflection will be induced by a 2, 5° diversion from the center of the localizer's beam.

CONT

Instrument landing system localizer. A system of horizontal guidance embodied in the instrument landing system which indicates the horizontal deviation of the aircraft from its optimum path of descent along the axis of the runway or along some other path when used as an offset.

Key term(s)
  • ILS localiser
  • instrument landing system localiser

Domaine(s)
  • Instruments et équipement de bord (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
CONT

Sur les pistes avec approche de précision, le radiophare d'alignement de piste ILS [instrument landing system] constitue normalement le premier obstacle qui se présente et l'aire de sécurité d'extrémité de piste devrait s'étendre jusqu'à cette installation.

Record 3 2019-07-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Helicopters (Military)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation
CONT

A full autopilot option has been added, including altitude hold, heading select/hold, very high frequency [VHF] omni-directional radio range localizer(VOR/LOC) track, instrument landing system(ILS) track, and global positioning system(GPS) steering.

CONT

The localizer transmission, at very high frequency [VHF] frequencies (108 -122 Mhz), provides information to the aircraft as to whether it is flying to the left or right of the centre line of the runway it is approaching. The localizer receiver output is proportional to the angular deviation ... of the aircraft from the localizer beam centre line which in turn corresponds with the centre line of the runway.

Key term(s)
  • ILS localiser track
  • localizer beam centerline
  • localizer beam centreline
  • localizer beam center-line
  • localiser beam centerline
  • localiser beam centre-line
  • localiser beam centreline
  • localiser beam center-line

Record 4 2012-08-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Traffic Control
DEF

Airspace of defined dimensions extending to either side of an ILS [instrument landing system] localizer course and/or MLS [microwave landing system] final approach track. [Definition officially approved by ICAO. ]

OBS

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circulation et trafic aériens
DEF

OBS

Au cours des approches parallèles indépendantes, il n'est tenu compte que de la moitié intérieure de la zone d'évolution normale.

OBS
