<div class="h5"><br><br>It's a NBD (non-directional beacon) that operates on 362 kHz and is called CLERA. It serves as the OM (outer marker) for pilot's flying instrument approaches to runway 36 at Waterbury-Oxford airport.<br>
You fly over CLERA at 2500 ft. above sea level and turn to a heading of 005 degrees. From the NDB it's a 6 nautical mile approach to the runway at a 3 degree glideslope.<br>
Generally pilots intercept the instrument landing system at that fix over CLERA on 109.55 MHz, which gives them precise left/right and glideslope info and they just keep the cross needles centered as they fly the approach all the way in.<br>
A little flying/radio trivia for everyone!<br>
I thought you all might be interested in a large swath of fenced off grass in the middle of nowhere with a turnstile antenna and a shack....<br>
