Components and Characteristics of the Instrument Landing System (ILS)

MOTIVATION

Learning ILS and then practicing in the simulator and aircraft are important

because you will be flying ILS-type approaches regularly at the ship when you

get to the fleet.

The ILS precision approach system provides azimuth and glideslope information

that enables precision landings under low ceiling and visibility conditions. Your

understanding of the instrument indications generated in the aircraft from ILS

ground equipment is vital to your execution of the smooth and immediate course

corrections required on a precision approach. This lesson will review the

function and use of ILS ground equipment as well as identify ILS instruments

and controls within the aircraft.

OVERVIEW

At the end of this lesson, you will know the functions of ILS ground equipment,

the instrument indications generated by ILS localizer and glideslope signals, and

aircraft position in relation to the localizer and glideslope beams.

This lesson covers the:

ILS guidance information

ILS range information

ILS visual information

ILS controls and instruments
