WHAT DOES LOCALIZER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Localizer

In aviation, a localizer provides runway guidance to aircraft. It is not to be confused with a locator, although both are parts of aviation navigation systems. The localizer is a component of an instrument landing system for the runway centreline when combined with a glide slope transmitter. When the glideslope is unserviceable, the localizer element can often be conducted as a separate non-precision approach, abbreviated to 'LOC'. A standalone instrument approach installation without an associated glidepath carries the abbreviation 'LLZ'. In some cases, a course projected by localizer is at an angle to the runway. It is then referred to as a localizer type directional aid. The localizer system is placed about 1,000 feet from the far end of the approached runway. Usable volume extends to 18 NM for a path up to 10° either side of runway centerline. At an angle of 35° either side of runway centerline, the useful volume extends up to 10 NM. Horizontal accuracy increases as distance between the aircraft and localizer decreases. Localizer approach specific weather minimums are found on approach plates.
