	Instrument Landing System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Instrument Landing System (ILS) is an instrument approach system which provides precise guidance to an aircraft approaching a runway and in the case of one type of Category III approach, it also provides guidance along the runway surface.
		The approach light system (abbreviated ALS) assists the pilot in transitioning from instrument to visual flight, and to align the aircraft visually with the runway centreline.
		The Transponder Landing System (TLS) is another alternative to an ILS that can be used where a conventional ILS will not work or is not cost-effective.

	Microwave landing system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NASA 737 research aircraft on the Wallops runway in 1987 with the Microwave Landing System equipment in the foreground.
		The Microwave Landing System (MLS) is an all-weather, precision landing system originally intended to replace or supplement the Instrument Landing System (ILS).
		Similar to other precision landing systems, lateral and vertical guidance may be displayed on conventional course deviation indicators or incorporated into multipurpose cockpit displays.

	Avionics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Systems that allow the aircraft to fly safely or have direct control over the aircraft are all directly controlled by the pilot.
		Weather systems such as weather radar and lightning detectors are especially important for aircraft flying at night or in Instrument meteorological conditions, where it is not possible for pilots to see the weather ahead.
		Combined with displays and flight control systems, these three core systems allow all the aircraft systems (not just avionics) to have their data compiled and manipulated to make it easier to maintain, easier to fly and safer.

	ILS (Instrument Landing System)
		Instrument landing system (ILS) facilities are a highly accurate and dependable means of navigating to the runway in IFR conditions.
		The localizer is a VHF radio transmitter and antenna system using the same general range as VOR transmitters (between 108.10 MHz and 111.95 MHz).
		The apparent sensitivity of the instrument increases as the aircraft nears the runway.

	Transponder Landing System
		This system is the Transponder Landing System, developed by Advanced Navigation and Positioning Corp. of Hood River, Ore. The concept is simple, the ground installation easy, and the potential applications are endless.
		Systems have been installed in Madras Ore., (south of the ANPC headquarters in Hood River) and at Watertown, Wis., where the EAA dignitaries can see the system in operation.
		The localizer and glideslope angle of arrival AOA sensors are used to define the flightpath from the transponder system as it nears the runway.

	History of Aircraft Landing Aids
		But near the landing point, the space between the beams was extremely narrow, and it was often easy for the pilot to miss the exact centerpoint that he had to hit for landing.
		The first landing of a scheduled U.S. passenger airliner using ILS was on January 26, 1938, as a Pennsylvania-Central Airlines Boeing 247-D flew from Washington, D.C., to Pittsburgh and landed in a snowstorm using only the ILS system.
		Helicopters have used visual landing procedures for most of their history, and on June 12, 1987, the FAA opened its national concepts development and demonstration heliport.

		The pilot flies his aircraft along a course delineated by the intersection of two radio beams—the localizer beam for guidance in the horizontal plane and the glide-slope beam for guidance in the vertical plane.
		Limitations inherent in the system prevent it from being used safely in locations where the land beyond the approach end of the runway is not level.
		Radio marker beacons are also installed at several locations along the approach path to tell the pilot on the landing approach how far he is from the end of the runway.

		The new system would enable operations in a visibility range of 50 to 200 metres as against the present CAT-III A which caters to the range of 200 to 400 metres.
		The system provides a controller display at the control tower wherein the positions of vehicles in the manoeuvring area aredisplayed with the help of a transponder mounted on vehicles.
		The whole system has been checked in actual operating environment with the help of an aircraft and vehicles for its adequacy during a trial conducted on December 20 where AAI representatives and the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) were present.

	Instrument landing (Dr Peter B Ladkin)
		There are three categories of Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches, Cat I, II and III, and Cat III is further subdivided into A, B, and C. The categories are differentiated according to the minimum weather conditions required for landing.
		In order to land legally for most Cat I Instrument Landing System approaches, besides the usual visibility conditions, some part of the runway, its lighting or its environment must be visible when you're roughly 200 feet above the ground (and therefore a few more hundred feet from touchdown).
		It is possible that the landing described was made under Cat IIIA, in which case use of some automated systems is mandatory, and hand-flying is not an option.

		Up to now, your instrument approach experience has allowed you to land in weather conditions as adverse as an overcast ceiling of 400 ft. and visibility as low as one-half mile.
		You might be surprised to learn that the Instrument Landing System pre-dated the invention and deployment of the VOR system.
		Test installations of VOR systems in the late 1940s quickly showed their usefulness and by the early 1950s wide-spread installation of these systems was a high priority for the FAA, then known as the CAA.

		The glide slope transmitter is located between 750 feet and 1,250 feet from the approach end of the runway (down the runway) and offset 250 to 650 feet from the runway centerline.
		Pilots must be aware of the vertical height between the aircraft's glide slope antenna and the main gear in the landing configuration and, at the DH, plan to adjust the descent angle accordingly if the published TCH indicates the wheel crossing height over the runway threshold may not be satisfactory.
		All pilots should be aware that disturbances to ILS localizer and glide slope courses may occur when surface vehicles or aircraft are operated near the localizer or glide slope antennas.

		In some cases when the instrument landing system isn't working, pilots can land by relying on their own vision, FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said.
		The malfunctioning system is one of eight localizers placed at each end of the airport's four parallel runways, one of which is closed for construction.
		On July 26, a system designed to alert controllers at the airport tower to potential collisions on the ground was partially disabled minutes before a turboprop plane narrowly missed a jet that had strayed onto its runway.
