A mechanical VOR display. A course deviation indicator (CDI) [1] is an avionics instrument used in aircraft navigation to determine an aircraft's lateral position in relation to a course to or from a radio navigation beacon. If the location of the aircraft is to the left of this course, the needle deflects to the right, and vice versa.
DVOR (Doppler VOR) ground station, collocated with DME. On-board VOR display with CDI MCT DVOR, Manchester Airport, United Kingdom.. Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range Station (VOR) [1] is a type of short-range VHF radio navigation system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a VOR receiver to determine the azimuth (also radial), referenced to magnetic north, between the aircraft to/from ...
ILS planes. An instrument landing system operates as a ground-based instrument approach system that provides precision lateral and vertical guidance to an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway, using a combination of radio signals and, in many cases, high-intensity lighting arrays to enable a safe landing during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), such as low ceilings or reduced ...
When an aircraft follows the course line, the difference in the depths of the modulation between the two frequencies is zero. This difference is conventionally displayed by the deflection of a moving coil indicator or needle on an instrument known as a horizontal situation indicator (HSI).
Localizer as component of an ILS (KMEZ runway 27, Mena, Arkansas) Emission patterns of the localizer and glide path signals. An instrument landing system localizer, or simply localizer (LOC, [1] or LLZ prior to 2007 [2]), is a system of horizontal guidance in the instrument landing system, which is used to guide aircraft along the axis of the runway.
The horizontal situation indicator (commonly called the HSI) is an aircraft flight instrument normally mounted below the artificial horizon in place of a conventional heading indicator. It combines a heading indicator with a VHF omnidirectional range-instrument landing system (VOR-ILS) display. [1]
The area between these full-scale needle deflections is what defines the course width.) An LDA approach (considered a non-precision approach ) may have one or more marker beacons , perhaps a DME , and in rare instances a glide slope , just as other precision approaches have, such as ILS approaches.
Not. I will come back and edit the page some time if someone doesn't get to it sooner. Localizer widths vary by installation -- most ILSs are 5 degrees wide, some are wider. ICAO Annex 10 specifies that the DDM is 0.155 for a full scale deflection, which is the maximum angular difference from centerine the operators of the localizer want you to ...
