Can I execute an ILS approach using a NAV CDI with LOC signal only?












2












$begingroup$


I have been flying a small Cessna airplane that has a COM/NAV NARCO MK12 equipment with CDI (lateral needle only).



This CDI does not incorporate a horizontal needle to provide vertical guidance, so there is no glide-slope indication for ILS.



Last time I tuned the LOC frequency of an ILS procedure and the CDI captured the LOC signal. The audio panel also captured the O M I markers.



My question is if it is legal to execute an ILS approach "with LOC" only limitations, as published in the approach plate (since the airplane does not have any GS information).

    If you're asking what's "legal" then please tell us which country or regulations you're asking about. It would also be helpful to know a specific approach that you're interested in, so that we can see exactly the scenario that you explained.

No, you cannot execute an ILS approach without an ILS glide slope indication as the primary form of vertical guidance.



Even if you could supplement it with alternatives (WAAS, GPS software, etc), they are not recognized as the appropriate standard of vertical guidance required for an ILS approach.



Many airports that have an ILS also have LOC (localizer-only) approaches. If such an approach is published, you could certainly fly it with only the use of the localizer, but then again, it is not an "ILS approach" it is a localizer approach.



The localizer -only approach will have different minimums which will be based on your altitude at a published minimum descent altitude rather than a decision height.



If no localizer approach is published, then you'd need to find another method or airport.

Knooppunt Holsloot

Knooppunt Holsloot Kenmerken Wegen A37 × N34 Type knooppunt klaverblad Portaal     Verkeer & Vervoer Knooppunt Holsloot is een verkeersknooppunt op de kruising van de autosnelweg A37 en de N34 in Drenthe, tussen Emmen en Coevorden. Oorspronkelijk was deze aansluiting een afritconstructie van het type Haarlemmermeeraansluiting, zoals bij Knooppunt Hooipolder. Sinds 2002 is het knooppunt omgebouwd tot een volledig klaverblad. Als noviteit werd hier voor het eerst gebruikgemaakt van dimbare verlichting in plaats van de normale vaste tijden waarop de verlichting aan en uit gaat, wat een grote kostenbesparing opleverde. [1] Dat Holsloot als volwaardig knooppunt is uitgevoerd, waarbij alle verkeersstromen en afbuigingen ononderbroken kunnen doorgaan, is uitzonderlijk. Het betreft hier namelijk een aansluiting tussen een autosnelweg en niet-snelweg. Een vergelijkbare situatie treft men nabij Hoensbroek bij het knooppunt Ten Esschen.     Aa

Collectie Museum Catharijneconvent De Gregoriusmis of de Mis van Sint Gregorius is een motief in katholieke kunst, dat het eerst verscheen in de late Middeleeuwen en dat nog steeds werd gebruikt tijdens de contrareformatie. Paus Gregorius I (ca. 540-604) is afgebeeld, de H. Mis opdragend, terwijl Christus als de Man van Smarten verschijnt op het altaar dat voor Sint Gregorius staat. Volgens de legende had St. Gregorius gebeden om een teken voor een betwijfelaar van de transsubstantiatieleer, waarop de lijdende Christus tijdens het opdragen van de Mis verscheen om hem te overtuigen en waarbij zijn bloed in de altaarkelk liep. Vaak zijn ook de passiewerktuigen afgebeeld. Zie de categorie Mass of Saint Gregory van Wikimedia Commons voor mediabestanden over dit onderwerp. This page is onl
