Q
  • MLS
A

Microwave landing system

61
Q
  • ILS category
A

o Category I system, which allows for landings at not less than 60 m height above the runway
o ILS Category II allows the landing when the decision height is 30 m and the distance to the beginning of the runway is 350 m.
o ILS Category III, the aircraft lands in automatic mode. In this mode, there is no decision-making altitude, and distance to the beginning of the runway has to be less than 250 m by category IIIa or 50-250 m for the category IIIc

62
