Chopper76 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Do you mean lose the Localizer or the Glide Slope because if I lost the Glide Slope on a Localizer approach I would do nothing because it is not required since they are step down non-precision approaches. If I lost the Localizer and there was no other approach I could easly transition onto I would inform ATC and commence the Missed Approach chances are they would just give you a vector for another approach.

kiefk Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 If you are on a localizer approach and prior to reaching the FAF you lose the glidelope what do you do. I just passed my INRAT prior to Christmas and would agree with Chopper76. A localiser approach doesn't have a glideslope but an ILS, which uses the localiser and a glideslope, does. They are however seperate so if on an ILS you lose the glideslope then you transfer to the localiser only which will have a higher MDH as opposed to the DH on the ILS. Lose the localiser and you're doing a missed approach to another airfield or hold until they get it back online. Hope this makes it clearer rather than just adding to the question... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
