Precision Approach Procedure

A Precision Approach Procedure is a carefully planned method pilots use to land an aircraft safely when visibility is limited, such as in fog or heavy rain. It involves the use of advanced instruments and navigation systems to precisely guide the plane from cruising altitude down to the runway. This procedure provides accurate lateral (side-to-side) and vertical (up-and-down) guidance, ensuring the aircraft stays on the correct path. Ultimately, it allows pilots to land safely even when visual cues are not enough, enhancing safety and reliability during difficult weather conditions.
