2: Code for I

is: 0 = conical; 1 = 

planar.

3: The convention for the coding of 

negative numbers is as follows: 

¥ 

MSB is the 

sign bit; 0 = + ; 1 = 

¥

—Other bits represent the absolute value. 
The convention for the antenna location is 

as follows: As viewed from the MLS approach 
reference datum looking toward the datum 
point, a positive number shall represent a lo-
cation to the right of the runway centerline 
(lateral offset) or above the runway (vertical 
offset), or towards the stop end of the run-
way (longitudinal distance). 

The convention for the antenna alignment 

is as follows: As viewed from above, a posi-
tive number shall represent clockwise rota-
tion from the runway centerline to the re-
spective zero-degree guidance plane. 

N

OTE

4: Data Word A3 is transmitted at in-

tervals of 1.0 seconds or less throughout the 
approach Azimuth coverage sector, except 
when back Azimuth guidance is provided. 
Where back Azimuth is provided transmit at 
intervals of 1.33 seconds or less throughout 
the approach Azimuth sector and 4.0 seconds 
or less throughout the back Azimuth cov-
erage sector. 

N

OTE

5: When back Azimuth guidance is 

provided, transmit at intervals of 1.33 sec-
onds or less throughout the back Azimuth 
coverage sector and 4.0 seconds or less 
throughout the approach Azimuth coverage 
sector.

OTE

6: The designation ‘‘A1’’ represents 

the function identification code for ‘‘Auxil-
iary Data A’’ and address code number 1.
