The ILS (Instrument Landing System) uses radio signals to help pilots align the aircraft accurately on their approach to a runway. Autopilot aids ILS approaches but needs close monitoring. What Is an ILS Approach? Precision Approaches (e.g., Lets learn more about this system! What Information Does ILS Provide?

We’ll explain what these approaches are, what equipment you’ll need, and why it’s important to understand them for safer flight. Key Takeaways LPV approaches use satellite guidance for near-ILS precision and lower minimums. VNAV adds automated vertical guidance to approaches, reducing pilot workload during descents.

Youll also dive into more advanced concepts like the principles of stability and control, as well as aircraft performance during various phases of flight. Ground school teaches you how to read airspace charts, calculate routes, and use tools like VORs (Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range) and GPS to navigate.
