COMMUNICATION (V.H.F )

COMMUMNICATION IS DONE
THROUGH VHF(VERY HIGH
FREQUENCY RANGE)
THE RANGE OF VHF IS
30MHZ TO 300 MHZ
IT IS A TYPE OF LINE OF
SIGHT COMMUNICATION
MODULATION TECHNIQUE
USED IS AMPLITUDE
MODULATION

V.H.F
3 BASIC COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR V.H.F
COMMUNICATION ARE :
1. TRANSMITTER

2. RECEIVER
3. ANTENNAS

V.H.F
TRANSMITTER
VHF TRANSMITTER HAVE 2 TRASMITTERS IN A
SINGLE EQUIPMENT .
1ST TRANSMITTER IS ON AIR WHILE OTHER IS ON
STANDBY .
2ND TRANMITTER IS ON HOT STANDBY i.e. THE
TRANSMITTER IS IN ON STATE BUT NOT IN USE.

V.H.F
RECEIVER
V.H.F RECEIVER ALSO HAVE 2 RECEIVERS
IN A SINGLE EQUIPMENT .
1ST RECEIVER IS ON AIR WHILE 2ND IS ON
HOT STANDBY FOR USE IN EMERGENCY.

V.H.F

ANTENNAS
2 TYPE OF ANTENNAS ARE USED :
1. DIRECTIVE ANTENNA
2. OMNI-DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA

DIRECTIVE
ANTENNA

OMNI DIRECTIONAL
ANTENNA

SOME IMPORTANT FACTS

ALLOTED FREQUENCY FOR V.H.F IS 108-156
MHZ .
OUT OF IT A.A.I OPERATES IN 117.975 MHZ 136
MHZ .
EACH AIRPORT HAS ITS DESIGNATED
FREQUENCY .

NAVIGATIONAL AIDS

Navigation is the 'ART' of determining the position of an

aircraft over earth's surface and guiding its progress from
one place to another.

Navigational Aids used in

AAI
ILS:
Instrument Landing
System
DME: Distance Measuring
Equipment
NDB: Non Directional Bearing
VOR: VHF OMNI RANGE

I.L.S.
INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM
CONSIST OF:

LOCALIZ

GLIDE
PATH

ILS Localizer needle

Glide slope Needle

DISTANCE MEASURING
INSTRUMENT(D.M.E)

Aircraft use DME to determine their

distance from a land-based transponder

NDB:NON
DIRECTIONAL BEACON

NDB GIVES THE RELATIVE BEARING.

NDB

GIVES
BETWEEN THE
THE NDB.
IF

THE CLOCKWISE ANGLE

NOSE OF AN AIRCRAFT AND

I.L.S IS NOT WORKING THEN NDB CAN DO

THE TASK.

SURVEILLANCE
The act of watching or
monitoring the behavior
activities, or other changing
information.
Surveillance may be
applied to observation from
a distance by means of
electronic equipment.

SURVEILLANCE

RADAR

SECURITY
EQUIPMENTS

RADAR

Radars are employed throughout the

world for the purpose of safely
controlling air traffic en-route and in
the vicinity of airports.

Radar has also been used to guide

aircraft to a safe landing in bad
weather.

SECURITY EQUIPMENT

HAND HELD METAL DETECTOR.

DOOR FRAME METAL DETECTOR.

X-RAY BAGGAGE INSPECTION SYSTEM.

EXPLOSIVE TRACE DETECTOR.
