Where are the ILS system locations typically positioned?

The positioning of ILS (Instrument Landing System) locations is strategically chosen to optimize the guidance provided to aircraft during landing approaches. The correct placement is crucial for ensuring pilots receive accurate navigational signals. Typically, ILS locations are placed in proximity to critical taxiways and runways to facilitate safe and precise landings.

Option C highlights specific locations—AFLCS 2-1, Taxiway 3, and the ends of Taxiway A and B—specifically identifying where the ILS components are strategically situated. Having the ILS installations near these key points ensures that as aircraft approach, they can transition from en route navigation to the precise guidance offered by the ILS, ensuring alignment and descent on final approach.

In contrast, while other choices suggest general locations, they do not accurately reflect the typical and optimal positioning of ILS components, which must align with approach paths and runway extensions to maintain safety and efficiency in aircraft operations. This accuracy is vital for both pilot navigation and overall air traffic control, particularly in busy airport environments.
