Precision Approach Procedures

Precision Approach Procedures are carefully planned steps pilots follow to land an aircraft when visibility is limited, such as in fog or heavy rain. They use sophisticated navigation systems like ILS (Instrument Landing System) to precisely guide the plane along a pre-set path, ensuring it descends safely and accurately toward the runway. These procedures include specific altitudes, headings, and speeds, and often involve precise instrument readings. They enable pilots to land safely even when visual cues are poor, increasing safety and reliability during challenging weather conditions.
