SECTION 2: LOCALISER LOCALISER Although the information up to now has been considered as being applicable to both VOR and localiser, the more important element on approach should be considered. Figure 1 is a graphic of three different types of localiser capture, typically used in a B757 type. ry Te = 2 Te = 6 NOTE: HTH ALARGE THE.

If it is less.than the maximum 25° limit the A/C flies that bank angle. Example-intercept angle is 45° bank angle 25°. If the calculated bank angle exceeds the 25° limit the AIC will overshoot the beam. DELAYED 1 TURN If the estimated bank angle is less than 10° the capture is delayed until the estimated bank angle exceeds 10°, thereby reducing the distance to complete capture. 2TURN Ifthe intercept angle is so small that the capture cannot be completed sufficiently far away from the runway threshold, a roll command is introduced to tum the A/C initially towards the beam, and then followed by a normal capture. Issued April 2008 Chapter 7: Section 2 a3Capture is enabled up to 120° intercept angles and maximum localiser deviation of 2”. LOCALISER DISTANCE The distance is calculated in feet in a similar way to glideslope using GEAR ALTITUDE to determine distance from transmitter. ROLL ANGLE Used to determine 1 turn capture limits.
