ANN's Daily Aero-Term (07.30.06): LOM

Aero-Terms!

Aero-Terms are designed to be a daily reminder of the terms, names, acronyms and explanations of the unique language that populates the aviation world. Aerospace, sport aviation, fixed wing, helo, you name it... it's all fair game.

Aero-Terms should serve as a quick but intriguing reminder of the terms you may use every day, or an introduction to an aspects of the Aero-World you may not yet be familiar with. ANN also encourages readers to go beyond the FMI link, and further research any intriguing terms.

Suggestions for future Aero-Terms are ALWAYS welcome, as are additions or discussion of the explanations given for each Aero-Term.

LOM

Locator Outer Marker -- Navigation aid used as part of an ILS instrument approach for aircraft in the United States. The LOM combines the outer marker beacon in the ILS approach with anNDB, so that aircraft can navigate directly to the location using the NDB as well as be alerted when they fly over it by the beacon. On the endangered species list thanks to GPS navigation.
