ILS is a standard landing aid used by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). It’s often used in low visibility, at night, or in bad weather. ILS can help pilots maintain a predetermined flight path to the runway, even when the runway isn’t visible. ILS stands for Instrument Landing System, a precision radio navigation system that helps pilots land aircraft safely on a runway. ILS uses two radio beams to provide pilots with vertical and horizontal guidance during landing. - #ils #i

🫡🫡🫡 Understanding the Instrument Landing System (ILS): A Guide to Safe Approaches The ILS is a precision approach system that enables pilots to land safely in low-visibility conditions like fog, rain, or nighttime. It uses ground-based radio signals to provide both lateral (left-right) and vertical (up-down) guidance, ensuring a smooth and accurate descent onto the runway. Components of ILS: Localizer (LLZ) Purpose: Provides lateral guidance to keep the aircraft aligned with the runway center
