In general, marker beacons operate at 75 MHz.

Minor Axis Bearing

This information is not required by PANS-AIM. ARINC 424

defines a" Minor Axis Bearing (MINOR AXIS TRUE BRG)" data field for the "Airport Localizer Marker" records.

in AIXM 5 the MarkerBeacon.axisBearing attribute may be used to indicate the true bearing of the minor axis of marker beacons.

The figure below illustrates how the minor axis is defined for a marker.

Position

In case a marker beacon collocated with an NDB (Locator) is physically located at the same position as the Locator, the geographic position (latitude and longitude) of the Locator is also the geographic position of the Marker.
