SECTION 1
GENERAL
The Cessna 400 Glide Slope is an airborne navigation receiver which
receives and interprets glide slope signals from a ground-based Instru-
ment Landing System (ILS). It is used with the localizer function of a VHF
navigation system when making instrument approaches to an airport. The
glide slope provides vertical path guidance while the localizer provides
horizontal track guidance.
The Cessna 400 Glide Slope system consists of a remote-mounted
receiver coupled to an existing navigation system, a panel-mounted
indicator and an externally mounted antenna. The glide slope receiver is
designed to receive ILS glide slope signals on any of 40 channels. The
channels are spaced 150 kHz apart and cover a frequency range of 329.15
MHz through 335.0 MHz. When a localizer frequency is selected on
th~
NA V
receiver. the associated glide slope frequency is selected automatically.
Operation of the Cessna 400 Glide Slope system is controlled by the
associated navigation system. The functions and indications of typical 300
series glide slope indicators are pictured and described in Figure 1. The 300
series glide slope indicators shown in Figure 1 depict typical indications
for Cessna-crafted glide slope indicators. However, refer to the 400
N av / Com or HSI write-ups
if
they are listed in this section as options for
additional glide slope indicators.
