Single/Dual Frequency – Glide Slope ILS 420 – Introduction
27 February 2008 iii
INTRODUCTION
The Equipment
The Instrument Landing System (ILS) 420 glide slope station was developed according to Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements and includes the glide
slope station and installation kit.
NOTICE: This equipment has been Type Accepted by the FCC (FCC ID BOJ420GS) and changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Thales may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The Manual
This manual provides information needed to install, operate, and maintain the Thales ILS 420 glide slope station.
It is assumed that anyone using this book to operate the equipment has a thorough understanding of ILS and that
anyone using it to maintain the equipment has graduated from the THALES ILS 420 glide slope training course or
has met required FAA training.
Line-Replaceable Unit Maintenance Strategy
This manual supports a line-replaceable unit (LRU) maintenance strategy that simplifies onsite maintenance and
minimizes downtime and life-cycle costs. With the LRU strategy, onsite technicians need only replace assemblies
they have determined are faulty through troubleshooting routines and only need to know how to use the
equipment’s built-in diagnostics to identify faulty assemblies and how to replace them. The faulty assemblies are
sent to THALES or another authorized depot for repair.
This strategy keeps the equipment in service, limits the time, skill, and equipment needs of onsite personnel, and
limits assembly level diagnosis, repair, and testing to those facilities with the highly specialized equipment and
technicians required to do it efficiently.
Sections
SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS. This section describes the equipment,
its purpose, physical specifications and requirements, and the interrelationships of the equipment in the group.
SECTION 2. THEORY OF OPERATIONTECHNICAL DESCRIPTION. This section will help you
understand how the whole system works and how its subsystems interrelate. It will also give you the perspective
you will need to do broad troubleshooting when fault isolation procedures are not enough. It covers only those
LRUs and other parts that can be replaced onsite and describes their inputs, outputs, and controls.
SECTION 3. OPERATION. This section tells you how to operate the equipment and includes controls and
indicators, operating procedures, and a screen-by-screen explanation of how to control and monitor the equipment
with a portable maintenance data terminal (PMDT the local control panel (LCP).
SECTION 4. STANDARDS AND TOLERANCES. This section lists the standards, tolerances, and parameters
of the equipment in the group.
SECTION 5. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE. This section tells you how and when to check and maintain the
equipment to make sure it is always performing at its peak.
SECTION 6. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. This section tells you how to maintain the equipment.

and troubleshoot the equipment and lists recommended test equipment. It also provides onsite LRU replacement
procedures. for all of the LRUs in the system.
SECTION 8. PARTS LIST. This section lists those assemblies and parts that can be replaced onsite. When
you have identified a faulty LRU, this section is where you will find the information you will need to order a
replacement.
