Q12. *An aircraft tracking to intercept the ILS localizer inbound on the approach side but outside the published coverage angle:
When an aircraft flies outside the protected ILS coverage area, the ILS signals are no longer monitored or guaranteed to be accurate.
In these areas, the receiver may pick up:
- Direct signals from the ILS transmitter.
- Reflected signals from buildings, hills, terrain, or other obstacles.
These unwanted signals can confuse the aircraft’s receiver and cause the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) to show incorrect information.
As a result, the pilot may receive:
- False on-course indications (showing the aircraft is on the correct path when it is not), or
- Reverse-sense indications (the CDI moves in the opposite direction from what is expected).
Therefore, outside the published ILS coverage area, CDI indications should not be considered reliable.
Answer: Will receive false on-course or reverse-sense signals.
