This type of approach is a non-precision instrument procedure that uses ground-based radio signals to guide you safely to a waypoint or the runway, even when visibility is poor. A VOR approach gives you accurate guidance by following specific VOR radials. Follow the published descent gradient from the approach chart.

GPS is everywhere, from our wristwatches and cell phones to the complete selection of RNAV departures, approaches and T routes that comprise the majority of the under-12,500-foot airspace system. The Instrument Landing System (ILS) seems safe for now, but LPV approaches are cheap, accurate, and are everywhere.

Airports with precision instrument landing systems (ILS), like Heathrow, often pair PAPI with ILS to provide pilots with extra visual confirmation during approaches, especially in bad weather or at night. Conclusion VASI and PAPI lights help you with your landings.

Including how it became the most reliable approach for pilots in aviation history. You might have heard pilots talking about the Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). The ILS is a type of approach pilots use to land. It is a precision approach aid based on two radio beams. What is an ILS? But what is it?
