16. CRS and CLR Width Check LLZ:
Purpose:
• Adjust & Ensure Course Width within tolerance;
• Check signal in the sector +10° and + 35° of C/L
Flight Procedure:
• Cal aircraft flies an arc about Runway center line at approx. 5 NM from LLZ &
1500’ AGL.
Values and tolerances :
• COURSE WIDTH (W) = W ± 17% for CAT I, II & W ± 10% for CAT III
Adjustment : SBO Amplitude ( SBO Power) - Course
• Signal in the course sector increase linearly to 175 μ Amps (18% DDM) till
10° on either side of C/L.
• Minimum Signal in the clearance sector between ±10° to ± 35° sector should be
150 μ Amps (15.5% DDM).
Adjustment : SBO Amplitude ( SBO Power) - Clearance

Flight Inspection Procedure of LLZ
17. Adjustment : SBO Amplitude ( SBO Power) – CRS/CLR
Apply formula as below:
Example : Commissioning Course Width =3.10
Measured Course width = 3.62
Normal CRS SBO value = 53.6
New SBO = 53.6 x 3.62
3.10
New SBO to be entered = 62.7%

6/6/2023 24
Course Line: Alarms for change in Course Line
toward left or right of the Centre Line:
Cat I : + 10.5 m or 1.5 % DDM;
Cat II : + 7.5 m or 1.09 % DDM;
Cat III : + 6 m or 0.88 % DDM
Curse width:
Cat I : + 17 % of Nominal Value
Cat II: + 17 % of Nominal Value
Cat III: + 17 % of Nominal Value
25. Monitor Alarms Procedure C/L:
ILS THALES PLI COURSE RTC-NR
6/6/2023 25
To check dominance of C/L towards
RHS and LHS.
Change CRS CSB DDM as per tested
facility –CAT-I,CAT-II,CAT-III.
Check corresponding change in
Monitor
If any further change is required
follow the instructions of onboard
Flight Inspector.

Purpose: To check actual the Glide angle of GP
Flight Procedure:
The calibration aircraft approaches inbound on extended center line
at 1500′ AGL from 10 NM to Threshold.
Glide angle
Commissioning : No tolerances allowed
Routine :
± 7.5% of θ for CAT I & II (2.775 to 3.225 Deg for θ=3)
± 4% of θ for CAT III ( 2.88 to 3.12 Deg, for θ=3 )

Open Normal Waveform data of on Arial Transmitter.
Adjust CRS CSB1 DDM as per requirement.
Change the DDM setting to µA from percent.
To increase glide angle increase +150 Hz
For decreasing glide angle increase -90 Hz.
Check the corresponding change in Monitor the same
change should appear as you adjusted for transmitter.
Note down the final adjusted values for future
reference.
