🔍 Key Concepts

• Instrument Landing System (ILS) components: localizer vs glideslope • Typical VHF and UHF frequency bands used in aviation navigation systems • Difference between kHz (kilohertz) and MHz (megahertz) and which is actually used for ILS localizers

💭 Think About

• First, decide whether an ILS localizer operates in the VHF range or the UHF range based on what you know about standard nav radios in aircraft. • Next, look at the answer choices and eliminate any that clearly use the wrong unit (kHz vs MHz) for aircraft navigation radios. • Finally, between the remaining choices, match the one that corresponds to the well-known ILS localizer band, not the separate glideslope band.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that ILS localizer frequencies are in the VHF navigation band, not in low frequency or UHF bands. • Check that the units (kHz vs MHz) are realistic for modern aircraft navigation receivers. • Be sure you are recalling the range used by the localizer specifically, not the glideslope or marker beacons.
