To notify the crew of the aircraft of a particular position on the IAP.
Locators have been largely replaced with Distance Measuring Equipment (DME), but they can sometimes be found associated with Outer or Middle Markers where they are referred to as Locator Outer Marker (LOM) or Locator Middle Marker (LMM).

Can you explain what a coastal breeze is?
Can you explain what a coastal breeze is?
A coastal breeze is a wind from the sea that develops over land near coasts.
It is formed by increasing temperature differences between the land and water; these create a pressure minimum over the land due to its relative warmth, and forces higher pressure, cooler air from the sea to move inland.
Generally, air temperature gets cooler relative to nearby locations as one moves closer to a large body of water.
What is Dutch roll?
What is Dutch roll?
Dutch roll is an aircraft stability issue involving oscillations of rolling and yawing motions. It occurs when the aircraft's nose deviates from its path, causing rolling in the opposite direction due to the vertical fin's side force. This generates a yawing moment, resulting in a cycle of yawing and rolling motions. Dutch roll can be problematic for passenger comfort and pilot control. Measures like tail fin design, yaw dampers, and control inputs are used to counteract it and maintain stability.
