I can still remember that the OM height for the SY 16 ILS was 1310’.
A standard call was : “ Outer Marker, height checked”
IIRC the outer locator was WPB, the inner locator was SDM, the OM was around the Gladesville bridge and the MM was around SDM.
JamieMaree I'll think you'll find the discussion has narrowed down to IMs - nobody is saying there were no OM or MMs.
