Locator Outer MarkerA Locator Outer Marker, or LOM, is a navigation aid used as part of an ILS instrument approach for aircraft in the United States. The LOM combines the outer marker beacon in the ILS approach with an NDB, so that aircraft can navigate directly to the location using the NDB as well as be alerted when they fly over it by the beacon. The LOM is becoming less important now that GPS navigation is well established in the aviation community. Canada has taken the process further and abandoned marker beacons altogether, replacing the outer marker in ILS approaches entirely with the NDB.
