10. LIDAR DXB1 – 12L IGE (In-Ground Effect)
Operational since Aug. 2013
Alignment of the scan plane:
Not perpendicular to the 12L glide scope but with an angle of 10.52̊ to that plane
Aircraft on glide scope is estimated to be at:
Altitude (above 12L threshold) 238 ft based on 3 ̊ glide scope
Ground Range from DXB1: 709 m

11. LIDAR DXB2 – 30L/30R OGE (Out-Ground Effect)
Operational since Nov. 2013
Alignment of the scan plane:
The azimuth alignment is perpendicular to the 30 L glide scope
Aircraft on glide scope is estimated to be at:
Altitude (above 30L threshold) 1101 ft based on 3 ̊ glide scope
Ground Range from DXB2: 718 m

12. LIDAR DXB3 – 30L IGE (In-Ground Effect)
Operational since Jul. 2014
Alignment of the scan plane:
The azimuth alignment is not perpendicular to the 30 L glide scope but with an angle of approx. 6 ̊ from the perpendicular
Aircraft on glide scope is estimated to be at:
Altitude (above 30L threshold) 256 ft based on 3 ̊ glide scope
Ground Range from DXB3: 588 m
