Today is A Safer Airport: The Benefits of an ILS ( Instrument Landing System)
The instrument landing system (ILS) is a precision approach navigational aid which provides highly accurate course, glide-slope, and distance guidance to a given runway. The ILS can be the best approach alternative in poor weather conditions for several reasons. First, the ILS is a more accurate approach aid than any other widely available system. Secondly, the increased accuracy generally allows for lower approach minimums. Third, the lower minimums can make it possible to execute an ILS approach and land at an airport when it otherwise would not have been possible using a nonprecision approach.
When flying an ILS, you track the line formed by the intersection of the glide slope and localizer courses. SOURCE: Jeppesen-Sanderson Inc.
