Aspects of the present invention relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for triggering an identification signal broadcast of a first navigational aid equipment using a tone in the voice band transmitted by a second navigational aid equipment. Aspects include receiving, at the first navigational aid equipment, a tone in a voice band of second navigational aid equipment. Aspects also include transmitting, by the first navigational aid equipment, the identification associated with the first navigational aid equipment identification when the tone is received.

Triggering an identification signal broadcast of a first navigational aid equipment using a tone in the voice band transmitted by a second navigational aid equipment

A method, system, and computer-readable medium for performing a flight check of one or more navigational aid systems. Aspects include obtaining, using an aircraft, first information associated with an accuracy of signals transmitted by a localizer. Aspects also include obtaining, using the aircraft, second information associated with an accuracy of signals transmitted by a glide slope station. Aspects also include transmitting the first information and the second information to a ground receiver for processing.

Transmission data for flight check

A method, system, and computer-readable medium for performing a hazard analysis of navigation aid equipment using an external safety monitor. Aspects include monitoring performance of the navigation aid equipment. In addition, determination is made if an improper performance of the navigation aid equipment is detected. Furthermore, removal of a signal from an antenna of the navigation aid equipment may occur when improper performance of the navigation aid equipment is detected.
