SPZ--8000 Digital Integrated Flight Control System
At localizer capture, the EADI annunciates:

mode.
The flight guidance computer generates a roll command to smoothly
capture and track the localizer signal.
The glideslope portion of the approach mode, shown in Figure 8--26,
automatically intercepts, captures, and tracks the glideslope beam. The
beam guides the aircraft down to the runway in a linear descent. Typical
glideslope beam angles vary between 2 and 3, dependent upon local
terrain. When the glideslope mode is used for vertical guidance and the
localizer is used for lateral guidance, the aircraft flies a fully coupled ILS
approach. The mode is interlocked, so that glideslope capture is
inhibited until localizer capture has occurred.
