A Question about the right wheel well

[RglsPhoto]

In the manual it says that "The corresponding right wheel well end is colored black and houses the IFF receiver" (Page 44,1.0.0.9 Flight manual), but I also read that it is an ILS receiver "Right pod is the ILS receiver. Left is the refueling door. The right pod is black because that is a rubber coating called "rain erosion"."(http://www.google.com.hk/#hl=zh-CN&newwindow=1&safe=strict&site=&source=hp&q=Right+pod+is+the+ILS+receiver.+Left+is+the+refueling+door.+The+right+pod+is+black+because+that+is+a+rubber+coating+called+%22rain+erosion%22.&oq=Right+pod+is+the+ILS+receiver.+Left+is+the+refueling+door.+The+right+pod+is+black+because+that+is+a+rubber+coating+called+%22rain+erosion%22.&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=hp.3...915l915l0l1863l1l1l0l0l0l0l0l0ll0l0.frgbld.&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=5cfff391e681a1b0&biw=1680&bih=935)

 

So which one is real?

Could anyone post a pic?

 

Thank you for any replies

The glideslope antenna is located in the right gear pod. The tip is black because it is a radome designed to reduce distortion/attenuation of the received signal.

Thank you.

 

And what's about the IFF receiver described in the manual?

 

Is it possible to put both ILS glideslope antenna and the IFF receiver in the pod?

A glide path antenna can be very small, so should be doable.

Manual is wrong...There are two IFF antennas, one on the top of the fueselage and one on the bottom lower empennage.

Thank you.

 

Hope this little error has been fixed in the lastest manual

It may also be painted black for visual ice detection .

It may also be painted black for visual ice detection .

Although possible, I highly doubt it..
