Default Outer Marker

When doing an ILS approach, with the glideslope, is it a requirement to be
able to identify the outer marker or a substitute? FAR 91.175(k) lists the
outer marker as one of the "basic ground components" and gives the acceptable
substitutes, but doesn't explicitly say that it's required. The AIM 1-1-9(j)
on "Inoperative Components" mentions the localizer and glideslope, but says
nothing about the outer marker.

If you answer, please give a specific FAA reference that says whether or not
the OM or a substitute is required.

Thanks.

Barry

Identification of the OM is not required but why do you think there will be
a specific reference to say that something is NOT required?

It's a good idea to check the OM, **if there is one**, in order to confirm
your GS altitude at that point, but there is no legal requirement.

You may also note that there is no "penalty" if an OM is not functioning.

In my experience, it has been most unusual for an OM to be located at the
FAF for an ILS approach. They try to get them close, but they rarely are
(at least here in the NorthEast).

I wondered about that. It *is* at the marker at my home field (PAE), thanks
to a remarkably well-located spit of land north of the bay, and I made the
appropriate mistake on my oral. After a snack break, I looked it up and came
back to the examiner with the right answer (GS intercept).

The FAF on an ILS is glideslope intersect, not the LOM, DME etc which are
not required.

Ahhh, but suppose your glideslope fails (onboard or on the ground)
after this "not required" intersection (with the "X" on Jepp charts)?
Suddenly you are doing a localizer approach and the FAF identification
becomes much more useful as a place from which you start your timing.

Lee,

I agree with you 100%. I was speaking from a legal view, not a safety view.
A few years ago, an approach's minimum changed if the outer marker was bust.
That is no longer the case.

To be picky, the ILS's FAF is the glideslope intersept, not the 'cross'.
The 'cross' belongs to the non-precision approach that just happens to be
printed on the same piece of paper.

I remember there used to be a penalty for a middle marker out of service, but
was the outer marker included on the table, too?

You guys that want a specific reference should buy Summit's Aviation Reference
Library and do your own research.
