CHAPTER NINE T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION
903. LOCALIZER APPROACH
General. Fly the aircraft in a controlled and predictable manner to the MAP at the MDA in
order to set the aircraft up for landing.
Description. A localizer approach is similar to an ILS, the major difference being the lack of a
glideslope indication.
9-8 FINAL APPROACH PROCEDURES
NOTE
If executing a localizer approach and DME defines the MAP, use
DME as the primary means of MAP identification. If DME
indications fail, use timing from the non-precision FAF to identify
the MAP (provided there is a timing block depicted on the
approach plate).
Procedure. The procedures for a LOC approach are very similar to the ILS. For this discussion,
use the same approach from the previous ILS example, Figure 9-2 (CRP LOC 13)
Downwind: Fly the downwind vector at 200 KIAS.
1. Set NAVAIDS up for the LOC. Perform D LIDS check.
D – DME Hold - NA.
L – LOC set 110.3.
I – Inbound course, set CDI 129º.
D – Display: Set the NAV source to VOR. The PFD should show LOC when a localizer
frequency is set in the VOR.
S – Speeds, fly downwind 200 KIAS.
Base: “Navy 123, Fly heading 040.”
2. Upon making the turn to base, set 10-25% torque in order to slow toward 150 KIAS. If a
descent or more rapid deceleration is required, a lower power setting or the use of the speed
brake may be needed.
Dogleg: See ILS example above.
On final:
3. As the CDI comes alive, turn onto final in order to capture the inbound course.
4. When established on final and within 5 NM of the FAF, configure to BAC.
At the FAF (6.2 DME)
