Landing Systems & Air-Traffic Management topics include: Landing mechanics, automatic and instrument landing systems, microwave landding system, air traffic control, satellite and carrier landing systems.
An instrument landing system (ILS) is a precision guidance system that helps aircraft approach runways at night or in bad weather. It uses radio signals to provide vertical and horizontal guidance, including azimuth guidance from the localizer and vertical descent profile from the glideslope. The ILS sends information to the cockpit instruments so that the pilot can maintain a predetermined flight path to the runway.
Air traffic management (ATM) is a combination of airborne and ground-based functions that ensure the safe and efficient movement of aircraft. ATM includes services such as: Air traffic control (ATC) Air traffic advisory Airspace management Air traffic flow management Navigation Surveillance Communication
ATM's two major principles are air traffic control and traffic flow management. ATM provides services that are essential for safe and efficient air transport, such as: Providing the connecting infrastructure that allows aircraft to fly safely between airports Managing the separation of aircraft and air traffic flows
