// Smart REGS Glossary - marker beacon
// 
// An electronic navigation facility transmitting a 75 MHz vertical fan
// or boneshaped radiation pattern.  Marker beacons are identified by
// their modulation frequency and keying code, and when received by
// compatible airborne equipment, indicate to the pilot, both aurally
// and visually, that he is passing over the facility.
// (See outer marker middle marker inner marker.)
// 
// Smart REGS Glossary - outer marker
// 
// A marker beacon at or near the glideslope intercept altitude of an
// ILS approach.  It is keyed to transmit two dashes per second on a
// 400 Hz tone, which is received aurally and visually by compatible
// airborne equipment.  The OM is normally located four to seven miles from
// the runway threshold on the extended centerline of the runway.
// 
// Smart REGS Glossary - middle marker
// 
// A marker beacon that defines a point along the glideslope of an
// ILS normally located at or near the point of decision height
// (ILS Category I).  It is keyed to transmit alternate dots and dashes,
// with the alternate dots and dashes keyed at the rate of 95 dot/dash
// combinations per minute on a 1300 Hz tone, which is received
// aurally and visually by compatible airborne equipment.
// 
// Smart REGS Glossary - inner marker
// 
// A marker beacon used with an ILS (CAT II) precision approach located
// between the middle marker and the end of the ILS runway,
// transmitting a radiation pattern keyed at six dots per second and
// indicating to the pilot, both aurally and visually, that he is at
// the designated decision height (DH), normally 100 feet above the
// touchdown zone elevation, on the ILS CAT II approach.  It also marks
// progress during a CAT III approach.
// (See instrument landing system) (Refer to AIM.)
