Approach Systems
Approach Systems refer to the equipment and procedures used by pilots to navigate and land an aircraft safely during the final phase of a flight. These systems include Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), Microwave Landing Systems (MLS), Global Navigation satellite Systems (GNSS), and Visual Approach Slope Indicators (VASIs). Approach systems provide pilots with critical information such as altitude, speed, and distance from the runway, allowing them to make necessary adjustments to ensure a safe landing. The use of approach systems is particularly important during adverse weather conditions or low visibility, where pilots rely heavily on these systems to guide them to the runway.
