Purpose of This Order.
This order provides guidance to engineering personnel engaged in the siting of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instrument landing systems (ILS). Sufficient information, supplemented by relevant drawings, will enable the engineer to select the optimum site, within defined limits, for each of the subsystems that comprise a Category I, II, or III ILS. Because of the wide variation in ILS siting conditions, it is not possible to provide specific instructions on how to overcome or offset the effects of each adverse condition. This order provides guidelines that are used in conjunction with a thorough understanding of ILS facility operations to arrive at the optimum site and operating parameters. The guidelines and criteria in this order are designed to be applicable to all installations. Consideration of site specific details, including airport geometry, airport use, runway/taxiway geometry, etc., may warrant deviation from these criteria.
