Lesson/Tutorial: Instrument Landing Systems (ILS)

This is a 10-minute example lesson/tutorial on Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) describing the localizer, glideslope, frequency selection (channel selection) and how ILS information is displayed on various cockpit instruments such as a localizer indicator, glideslope indicator, CDI, HSI and EFIS.
The CBT software used is the ILS Trainer from Sphaera Training Systems, a fully interactive CBT application that will run on a standard PC in the classroom. It features a 3D environment with fully controllable airliner, a wide range of functioning ILS instruments, Nav Panel and clear visualisation of localizer beam and glideslope, enabling instructors to bring this subject to life in the classroom.

    I'm not a pilot nor am I an aviation expert, so it reall amazes me how advanced modern planes are. My mind was completely blown learning how much modern airliners can do by themselves. Due to poor eyesight I'll sadly never be able to get a pilots license but I still love learning about aviation.

    Excuse my language, but straight to the fucking point, this video is! Not too overboard with the explanation. Showing the instruments for us visual learners in relation to what's being taught. All around good video, next video perhaps you can do a selection of aircraft (General Aviation and airliners) on how to set up an ILS approach. Thank you!

    Hi MS, thank you for watching the video and for providing a very good question. For anyone else reading, MS's questions relates to the content between 8:07 and 8:41 in the video. On the A320 EFIS the Outer, Middle and Inner ILS markers are indicated as OM, MM and (rather confusingly AWY, rather than IM). Therefore we added the explanation that AWY appears when the aircraft flies over the inner marker or an airways marker beacon. Sometimes just referred to as airway marker, these were used (from the 50s onwards) to mark out a system of airways. This system is now obsolete.

    What is the range of the glide slope and at what height do you intercept it at?

  • @sphaeraTrainingSys

    @sphaeraTrainingSys

    2 жыл бұрын

    As per an earlier question, the max range is not a figure we really need to concern ourselves with, but to answer the question, the useable coverage of a localizer normally extends to 18NM with the glideslope around half that range. What is important however is the height/range data for intercepting the localizer/glideslope. This will be listed on the approach plates (charts) for your destination runway (as will vary between runways).

    In the video, no, there is no indication because autopilot is out of scope of this introduction lesson. However on the real aircraft the G/S and LOC indications in the FMAs (flight mode annunciators) at the top of the PFD will appear in blue when armed, and turn green when engaged (captured).

    I really wanted to see included the existence of the ghost glide slope signal above the normal one used and how to avoid it. Which is to always intercept the GS signal from below. I just wanted a visual to show someone else.

    Thanks for the input and this (ie ghost lobes, side lobes and false glide slopes to quote a few terms) is something that could be considered in a future upgrade. The concept of slide lobes (and side lobe suppression) is something currently covered in another of our applications - our ATC Transponder Trainer.

    Hi Mike, the video is actually a promotional video. Thoughts on the music are subjective (some people feel it keeps the video engaging, but there are people like yourself who find the music distracting). We also have a non-public version without any music and can share this with you if you wish.

  • @00crashtest
    @00crashtest Жыл бұрын

    Why are the angles so exaggerated? It is misleading to a beginner student pilot and will cause a crash landing (at the very least, serious skeletal injuries, if not fatality, due to v_y being large) if s/he follows the slope used in this video and does not flare. With a regular glide angle of 3° (0.052 slope, meaning v_y is fairly small), an occupant can get away with just bruises, if not be totally free of injuries if the first-time learner pilot somehow forgets to flare.
