gsoyka Posted August 15, 2023 Report Posted August 15, 2023 I've recently done some avionics upgrades and the shop removed one antenna, but I think there's a couple extra still remaining. One I can't identify is this long, skinny one on the belly; was thinking it might be ADF, but supposedly that was the antenna that was already removed. Anyone recognize what this might be?
EricJ Posted August 15, 2023 Report Posted August 15, 2023 +1, that's the marker beacon "sled" antenna.

N201MKTurbo Posted August 15, 2023 Report Posted August 15, 2023 When was the last time you actually used the marker beacon? 1
gsoyka Posted August 16, 2023 Author Report Posted August 16, 2023 Now that you mention it, I'm not sure I ever have in this airplane, I'm always using the GPS. I would have thought it was a requirement to shoot an ILS, but I can't find anything to support that, and given how few marker beacons are still functional these days, that must not be the case.
N201MKTurbo Posted August 16, 2023 Report Posted August 16, 2023 I was flying an ILS once and that thing started beeping and flashing, freaked me out!
