The glideslope station transmits final approach vertical guidance information to aircraft on approaches. And the marker beacon provides distance to runway information, in the form of a series of dash-lik- e tones, to aircraft on to the runway. approaches Hill's old instrument landing system was decommissioned Sept. 11 and the new SSILS was commissioned Oct. 5 after a flight check was accomplished by the Federal Aviation Administration. The SSILS was installed by the 2046 CIG out of Wright-Patterso-n AFB, Ohio. The 1881st Communications Squadron has inherited the responsibility of maintaining and operating this new sophisticated system. The monitor for the SSILS is in the control tower and control responsibility has been delegated to the air traffic control personnel. The SSILS is only one of many navigational aid systems maintained and operated by the personnel assigned to the 1881st that contribute to the positive control of aircraft in and around Hill AFB.
