WindyTX Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Actually fwiw LAX does turn the out of use ILS off. I once got a last minute runway change and when we asked about the lack of indications they literally said oops sorry we are turning it on now.

tom_19d Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Windy -- absolutely that happens at fields where there are humans running the navaids. The question at hand though is "why would DCS ever turn off the ILS at a field with only one set of equipment?"

eaglecash867 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Tom, I got a chance to take a run at Creech, and it looks like the wind was turned on. I turned it off and the ILS started working, but only 108.70 for 08. There really wasn't that much wind though, not enough that would cause a complete shutdown, including LOC.

tom_19d Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Hi gents. I looked at this a little more at other fields with just one ILS; Batumi in the Caucus and Groom Lake in Vegas. At both places, I was unable set a wind condition that would turn the ILS off. Tailwind, calm wind, light headwind, strong headwind, the ILS at those two places stayed on regardless. At Creech however, the problem remains. I believe this might have something to do with the "phantom" ILS to 13 at Creech on 108.5. It shows on the ME, but I haven't seen it published anywhere else, nor have I seen it turn on. I'm not sure if ED is planning on activating a second ILS there or what the deal is with the second ILS, but since this particular issue of a one-ILS airport turning off the ILS only seems to be happening at Creech, I am willing to let this one go for a bit to see if we hear anything from ED about the second ILS there...
