Instrument Landing Systems: Guiding Aircraft During Low Visibility
Instrument Landing Systems are navigation aids used to assist aircraft during the final stages of landing. These systems provide precise guidance that allows pilots to align with the runway even when visibility is limited due to fog, rain, or darkness.
An instrument landing system operates using ground-based radio transmitters that send signals to aircraft approaching the runway. These signals provide information about the aircraft’s position relative to the runway centerline and its descent path.
