Understanding both traditional and GPS-integrated methods gives you more options in various weather conditions. Consistent instrument scanning and course corrections are required to maintain a precise approach. Unlike an Instrument Landing System (ILS), a VOR approach only provides horizontal guidance.

The first flight got weathered out, with broken clouds at 1,500 feet. There was a nice crosswind, and I demonstrated landing on a concrete expansion joint, offset from the runway centerline. Then off to the other runway for a full stop. Still, the flight was good enough for an instrument proficiency check (IPC) sign-off.

The ILS approach has revolutionized aviation and the types of weather we can fly in. You might have heard pilots talking about the Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). The ILS is a type of approach pilots use to land. The ILS contains multiple components , allowing pilots to land in the worst conditions.
