An '''[[ILS]]''' ''can'' be used as a [[NDB]] beacon but it's range is limited and depends very much on the position of the aircraft towards the station (and runway). The LOC signal of an ILS transmits only one radial, the heading towards the runway. It should only be used as a system for landing and not for navigation. | An Instrument Landing System ('''[[ILS]]''') beacon ''can'' be used as a [[NDB]] beacon (with some receivers) but it's range is limited and depends very much on the position of the aircraft towards the station (and runway). The LOC signal of an ILS transmits only one radial, the heading towards the runway, in one direction. It should only be used as a system for landing and not for navigation. | ||
