Can a failed Glide Slope also void the Localizer approach?
Thanks a lot Sam. This is what I needed; a few specific sites that I can
use for reference. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Spade ] Posted At: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 10:32 AM Posted To: rec.aviation.ifr Conversation: Can a failed Glide Slope also void the Localizer approach? Subject: Can a failed Glide Slope also void the Localizer approach? .... Quite a few, such as Boeing Field, Arcata, California Reno, Butte, Montana. All of those have a separate LOC procedure, which cannot be switched to midsstream. Missula, Montana was an ILS that does not have a separate LOC IAP. |

Why could one not switch midstream? Assuming the LOC course is the same, if the GS goes out, fly level until the next stepdown. Jose -- The monkey turns the crank and thinks he's making the music. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

I didn't look at all of them, but perhaps if you examined the BFI ILS Rwy 13R approach, or the KMSO ILS RWY 11 approach, you would understand. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA) |

Looking at the BTM approach, I suspect the only reason the LOC and ILS are published as separate charts is because several significant differences in IAF, glideslope intercept altitude and Missed Procedures. The chart would be way too cluttered if presented on one sheet. |

but perhaps if you examined the BFI ILS Rwy 13R
approach, or the KMSO ILS RWY 11 approach, you would understand. Well, maybe I'm thick, but I don't understand. True, you need to be prepared to switch (i.e. have the chart handy, have the DME tuned properly) but I see no reason why a properly prepared pilot could not switch. True, you may be below the stepdown fix when you lose the GS, but if you don't go any lower, you won't hit anything (the GS has already provided obstacle clearance) and you should be able to fly your present altitude until the next stepdown. Or... set up for the LOC, but fly the GS if it's available. I'm looking right now at the BFI ILS 13R and the LOC/DME for the same runway.

Try looking at the BTM ILS 15 and LOC/DME for the same runway, and it will be a lot clearer. You can't set up for the LOC and use GS if available, because the procedures for setting up are not the same. On the ILS, you intercept the GS at 10,600, at 14+ DME from I-BEY. On the LOC/DME, you can be down to 9600 at that point. Even if you do pull that off (and it can certainly be done - at least the intercept is from below), there is another reason you can't do it. The missed approach for the ILS has you climbing to 11,000. On the LOC/DME, it's only 9,200. Might be iffy if the controller has someone holding at CPN at 11,000 or something similar. There certainly are situations (BFI ILS 13 and LOC/DME comes to mind) where the approaches are sufficiently similar that you could do it safely, but that's not how the regulations work. If you are cleared for one approach, you can't just change your mind and do another, because there is no requirement to design them such that the change is safe - and BTM is one example where the change is NOT safe. Therefore, you are cleared for one given approach (unless given a cruise clearance or explicitly cleared for any approach) and you must obtain an amended clearance if you want to change your mind. In those situations where the approaches are on the same plate (say ILS/LOC or VOR/GPS or some such) the approach clearance covers whatever is on the plate for which you have the equipment, and thus you can make the change midstream if you so choose since the design of the approach is such that the change is safe.

Jose They are on separate charts with separate titles because they are sufficiently different to defy making a clear chart. |
