2. AAI IS AN ORGANISATION WORKING UNDER THE
MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATIONS.
It came into existense in 1st april 1995.

4. The International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO), is a specialized
agency of the United Nations.
The Air Navigation Commission (ANC) is the
technical body within ICAO.
ICAO defines the protocols for air
accident investigation followed by transport
safety authorities in countries.

INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM LAYOUT
11. Localizer (LOC) is the lateral component for the
runway centre line when combined with the
vertical glide slope.
Localizer is made up antenna arrays.
13. A glide slope station uses an antenna array sited to one side of
the runway touchdown zone.
The centre of the glide slope signal is arranged to define a
glide path of approximately 3° above horizontal (ground
level). The beam is 1.4° deep (0.7° below the glide-path centre
and 0.7° above).
15. The Instrument Landing System (ILS) provides a means for
safe landing of aircraft at airports under conditions of low
ceilings and limited visibility.
The use of the system materially reduces interruptions of
service at airports resulting from bad weather by allowing
operations to continue at lower weather minimums.
The ILS also increases the traffic handling capacity of the
airport under all weather conditions.
16. Distance measuring equipment (DME) is
a transponder-based radio navigation
technology that measures slant
range distance by timing the propagation
delay of VHF or UHF radio signals.
A radio signal takes approximately 12.36
microseconds to travel 1 nautical
mile (1,852 m) to the target and back—also
referred to as a radar-mile.
17. VOR is a type of short-range radio
navigation system for aircraft.
Uses frequencies in the very high
frequency (VHF) band from 108 to
117.95 MHz.
Aircraft contains 2 demodulators for
FM- Variable Phase
AM- Reference Phase
Contains 49 antennas in rotation (48
variable antennas and 1 fix antenna in
middle).
18. NDB GIVES THE RELATIVE BEARING.
NDB GIVES THE CLOCKWISE ANGLE BETWEEN
THE NOSE OF AN AIRCRAFT AND THE NDB.
IF I.L.S IS NOT WORKING THEN NDB CAN DO
THE TASK.
