Q

Regarding ILS what 4 things does the DME transponder do?

A

1) Provides Range info instead of marker beacons
2) DME channel frequency paired with localiser, therefore DME automatically tuned when ILS selected
3) Range If zero referenced to runway threshold
4) Accurate only with localiser coverage and up to 25,000ft

Q

What is the maximum range of the glide path?

A

10nms

24
Q

The glidepath is known as the ILS reference point. True or False?

A

True.

25
Q

The overlapping area is normally sub tended an angle of 3 degrees to give continuous descending approach to touch down point.
True or False?

A

True

26
Q

When will the aircraft receive signal of equal intensity from both glidepath lobes?

A

On the correct descent path.

27
Q

What is the horizontal coverage either side up to 10nms on the glidepath?

A

8 degrees.

28
Q

What is the vertical coverage from the centreline of the glidepath?

A

0.45x Glidepath below surface and 1.75x glidepath

29
Q

What does the location of the GP aerial and approaching angle depend on? (5 things)

A

1) aircraft to use Aerodrome;
2) Terrain;
3) Runway Length;
4) meteorological conditions;
5) obstacles within Approach/missed Approach Area.

30
Q

Indication equates to a height of 50ft as the aircraft crosses the threshold. So the ILS reference datum should be as close to 50ft as possible. True or False?

A

True.

31
Q

If the glide path has an angle of 3.5 degrees. How many feet per nm will it descend?

A

350ft per nm

32
Q

If the glide path has an angle of 3 degrees. How many feet per nm will it descend?

A

300ft per nm

33
Q

If the glide path has an angle of 2.5 degrees. How many feet per nm will it descend?

A

250ft per nm

34
Q

Are the localiser and Glidepath frequency paired?

A

Yes

35
Q

ILS Garuda against mismatching, True or False?

A

True.

36
Q

Only the localiser frequency needs to be selected/published on the flight deck. True or False?

A

True.

37
Q

The ILS and marker boards are automatically monitored for their radiation fields. True or False?

A

True.

38
Q

When will the ILS automatically cease to transmit navigation information?

A

If the power drops below acceptable level or anything abnormal happens.

39
Q

When will the ILS switch off?

A

If the monitoring equipment fails.

40
Q

What is indicated when a continuous tone is played by the ILS?

A

ILS is under maintenance or radiating for test purposes.

41
Q

What does HSI stand for?

A

Horizontal Situation Indicator

42
Q

What does OBS stand for?

A

Omni-directional Bearing Selector.

43
Q

On the cockpit display each dot indicates how many degrees vertically and horizontally?

A
  1. 5 horizontal

0. 15 vertically

44
Q

The edge of the centre ring in the cockpit display is the first dot of displacement. True or False?

A

True.

45
Q

What 3 things cause the needles to remain centred on the cockpit display?

A

1) Receiver switched off
2) No signal is being received
3) In Centreline If both localiser and glidepath.

46
Q

What 3 factors depend if the autoland on the ILS can be used?

A

1) A/C suitably equipped
2) Ground Transmitter protected from external performance
3) A/C movement on the ground in the vicinity of ILS equipment must be restricted.
