![]() The second needle can move up and down and indicates our deviation from the desired glide path. The frequency for this ILS is 110.7 MHz and the approach course is 098°. Some aircraft like the Airbus A320 or Boeing 747 can even fly the ILS down to touchdown on autopilot.įor this tutorial we are going to fly the Cessna 172 and use the ILS RWY 10R at Monterey Regional airport in California, located about 100 NM south of San Francisco. The aircraft is flown towards the signal from the runway and the pilots follow the beam down to the runway. The selection of the ILS station is achieved by tuning the correct ILS frequency and setting the approach course. Glide Slope deviation (GS) for the vertical alignment.Localizer deviation (LOC) for the lateral alignment of the approach path and.The signal for the ILS approach has two components: Some runways are equipped with an instrument landing system (ILS) that emits electromagnetic signals that can be received with on board devices radio navigation receivers. ![]() With Aerofly FS you can of course also practice these ILS approaches. One of these systems is the instrument landing system (ILS), which we’ll describe below. ![]() And because the accuracy can be quite good they are still in use today. ![]() You probably have seen aircraft takeoff and land even in very poor visibility and wondered, how do you find a runway if you can’t see it?īefore the widespread use of GPS aircraft relied on ground radio stations and on board receivers to calculate their position relative to them. ![]()
