This document describes the design, installation, and testing of an ILS scale model facility at Suffolk County Airport, Westhampton Beach, New York. The model system consists of a localizer, glide slope, and automatic tracking facilities, with a scale factor of 30/1. The facility provides course structure deviations of less than + or - 5 microamps and + or - 2 microamps from theoretical for glide slope and localizer respectively from the outer marker to threshold.
