1 General Information
This paragraph gives a description of a typical ILS installation and the Normarc Glidepath sys-
tem. Conventions and abbreviations used in this manual are also given.
1.1 Introduction
This is an overview of Normarc’s NM703X ILS glidepath systems.
1.1.1 ILS Overview
A complete Instrument Landing System comprises:
• A LOCALIZER SYSTEM, producing a radio course to furnish lateral guidance to the airport
runway.
• A GLIDE PATH SYSTEM, producing a radio course to furnish vertical guidance down the
correct descent angle to the runway.
• MARKER BEACONS, to provide accurate radio fixes along the approach course.
The layout of a typical ILS airport installation is shown below.
