active LOWI RWY26 LOC Approach

[Hanse_Rolf]

Hi,

I am using ORBX LOWI together with Aerosoft NavDataPro DB. What I recognized using ADE and looking into the BGL-file / Navaids (see screenshot attached) is that RWY26 has still an ILS approach whereas according to the charts and the navigation database it is LOC/DME only - e.g. no ILS and like RWY08. Will there be an update for this discrepancy? Thanks.

Hi,

 

Are you sure?

 

I just checked my LIDO chart for LOWI dated 04/2017 and 08 has a localiser only but 26 has an ILS.

 

Here is a note from the chart:

 

"3.77° GS available between D19 OEV and THR"

 

It is also labelled:

 

ILS RWY 26

D 111.1 OEV

 

There is no separate chart for an ILS approach, but this info is taken from the  "LOC/DME 08/26 East" chart.  So the airport does not have a dedicated ILS approach, but there is a glide slope available for runway 26, mainly for reference rather than capture, IRL.

 

I can't offer much more technical explanation on this, but if you google this issue you will find much more info on it.

Hi Scott,

thanks and you are absolutely correct. I also found those "remarks" and so the glide slope seems to be for information only. 

 

Cheers,
