SECTION

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
indi-
cator
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 the
NAV
receiver,
the
associated
glide
slope
frequency
is
selected
automati-
cally.
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.

LIMITATIONS
There
is
no
change
to
the
airplane
limitations
when
this
avionic
equipment
is
installed.
