5. WHAT IS ILS?
5
ILS is stand for Instrument Landing System
Is a radio Beam transmitter that provides a direction
for approaching aircraft that tune their receiver to the
ILS frequency.
It used a combination of radio signals (VHF and UHF)

7. THE USES OF ILS
7
• To guide the pilot during the approach and landing, it’s
very helpful when visibility is limited and the pilot can not
see the airport and runway.
• To provide an aircraft with a precision final approach.
• To help the aircraft to a runway touchdown point.
• To provide an aircraft guidance to the runway both in
the horizontal and vertical planes.
• To increase safety and situational awareness.

8. ILS COMPONENTS
8
ILS consists of Ground Installation and Airborne
equipment.
There are three equipments for ground installations:
Ground Localizer: antenna-to provide horizontal Navigation.
Ground Glide Path(GP) antenna-to provide vertical Navigation.
Marker beacons-to enable the pilot cross check the aircraft’s height.
There are 2 equipments for airborne equipments:
LLZ and GP antennas located on the aircrafts nose.
ILS indicator inside the cockpit.

9. HOW ILS WORKS?
9
Ground localizer antenna transmit VHF signal in direction opposite of
runway to horizontally guide aircraft to the runway center line.
Ground Glide Slope antenna transmit VHF signal in vertical direction to
vertically guide aircraft to the touchdown point.
Localizer and Glide Path antenna receives both signals and sends it to
ILS indicator in the cockpit.
These signals activate the vertical and horizontal needles inside the ILS
indicator to tell the pilot either go left/right or go up/down.
By keeping both needles centered, the pilot can guide his aircraft down to
end of landing runway aligned with the runway center line and aiming the
touch down.

10. LOCALIZER
10
• Localizer is the horizontal antenna array located at the
opposite end of the runway.
• Localizer operates in VHF band between 108 to 117.975MHz

11. HOW LOCALIZER WORKS?
11
• Localizer transmit two signals which over lapat the center.
• The left side has a 90 Hz modulation and the right has a 150
Hz modulation.
• The overlap area provides the on-track signal.
• For example, if an aircraft approaching the runway center line
from the right, it will receive more of 150 Hz modulation than 90
Hz modulation.
• Difference in depth of modulation will energizes the vertical
needle of ILS indicator.
• Thus, aircraft will be given the direction to go left.

13. GLIDE SLOPE (GS)/ PATH
13
Glide Path is the vertical antenna located on both side of
the runway about 300m to the end of the runway.
Glide Path operates in VHF/UHF band.

14. HOW GLIDE SLOPE WORKS?
14
Glide Path produce two signals in the vertical plane.
The upper has a 90 Hz modulation and the bottom has a
150 Hz modulation.
For example, if an aircraft approaching the runway too
high, it will receive more of the 90 Hz modulation than 150
Hz modulation.
Difference in depth of modulation will energizes the
horizontal needle of ILS indicator.
Thus, aircraft will be given the direction to go down.

16. MARKER BEACON
A marker beacon is a particular type of VHF radio beacon used
in aviation, usually in conjunction with an instrument landing
system (ILS), to give pilots a means to determine position
along an established route to a destination such as a runway.
There are three types of Marker Beacon, Such as:
a. Outer Marker.
b. Middle Marker.
c. Inner Marker.
