Position marker located 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

Position marker located 3500 feet from the runway threshold.

Position marker located 250 feet from the runway threshold.

Use of Morse codes by pilots to identify marker positions.

Blue, amber, and white lights indicate marker beacon status.

Monitoring of ground marker beacon transmitters for power levels.

Eighty percent modulation keying indicates proper beacon function.

Pilots use lights and tones to track approach progress to the runway.

Visible lights that guide pilots for position and altitude before landing.

Lights that indicate the usable width and length of the runway.

Lights indicating the touchdown area, typically for the first 3000 ft of landing.

Lights that extend down the center of the runway for alignment during landing.

System that provides location information when flying near designated points.

Formula to find power density at a distance from a transmitter: P = 10kW / (4π * distance²).

A device that determines horizontal position relative to the runway.

A device that provides vertical guidance for the aircraft's descent.

A navigation system used by pilots for aircraft positioning.

A radio signal aiding in lateral guidance for landing.

A navigation aid providing vertical guidance during an approach.

An indicator used to signal the aircraft's position during approach.

A type of airway marker transmitting high-pitched signals in a fan beam.

The angle at which an aircraft descends towards the runway.

A specific sound signal from beacons indicating position information.

A maneuver to keep an aircraft in a specific area while awaiting clearance.

The first marker beacon a plane encounters when approaching an airport, typically located several miles from the runway.

The marker beacon located closer to the runway, providing indication as the aircraft approaches landing.

The closest marker beacon to the runway, indicating that the plane is very near to landing.

The signal transmitted by marker beacons, typically at 75 MHz, modulated with specific audio tones.

A system that pairs localizer and glideslope frequencies for landing approach.

An station type that can function as an Outer Marker beacon, aiding navigation.

Monitors marker system conditions, alerts pilot of any failures.

An audio tone that, when received, lights up the blue outer marker light.

An audio tone that, when received, lights up the amber middle marker light.

An audio tone that, when received, lights up the white marker or airway marker light.

VHF signals in this context consist of a 75 MHz carrier amplitude modulated by specific audio tones.

Markers associated with navigation that provide the aircraft's exact position at range stations.

The outer marker is directly below where an airplane should start descending on a localizer course.

Located near the runway, it indicates where a descent could be discontinued.
