Figure 6.4. Typical Azimuth Coverage Area
Figure 6.5. Elevation Coverage Area.
6.7.5. Elevation Guidance (Figure 6.5).
6.7.5.1. Elevation Station. The elevation station transmits its guidance signals on the
same carrier frequency as the azimuth station.
6.7.5.2. Coverage. To a distance of at least 20 NM between 0.9 degrees and 15.0
degrees of elevation. (The MMLS range is at least 15 NM and the elevation is
between 2.5 degrees and 15.0 degrees.)
6.7.6. MLS Precision Distance Measuring Equipment (DME/P). The MLS DME/P
functions in the same way as the DME described in the TACAN section of this manual.
DME/P accuracy within 7 NM of the station has been improved to be consistent with the
accuracy provided by the MLS azimuth and elevation stations. The DME/P is an integral
part of the MLS.
6.7.7. MLS Expansion Capabilities. The standard MLS configuration can be expanded
by addition of one or more of the following functions:
6.7.7.1. Back Azimuth (BAZ). To provide lateral guidance for missed approach and
