The glide slope antenna is a tower about 500-700 feet past the threshold (just prior to the touchdown zone) and 100-150 feet off to the side. The localizer antenna array is off the end of the runway at the far end. So if you're landing over a localizer antenna, it's for the other end of the runway or you're flying a LOC back course approach. And realistically, the bigger obstacles in that zone are the approach lighting towers. | |
