  • Chapter 9: Navigation Systems › Instrument Approach Systems › Instrument Landing Systems (ILS)

    Instrument Approach Systems Most navigation systems approved for en route and terminal operations under IFR, such as VOR, NDB, and GPS, may also be approved to conduct IAPs. The most common systems in use in the United States ... simplified directional facility (SDF), localizer-type directional aid (LDA), and microwave landing system (MLS). These systems operate independently of other navigation systems. There are new systems being developed, such as WAAS and LAAS. Other systems have been developed for special…

  • Chapter 1. Air Navigation › Section 1. Navigation Aids › 1-1-19. Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) Landing System (GLS)

    Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) Landing System (GLS) a. A GBAS ground installation at an airport can provide localized, differential augmentation to the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal-in-space enabling an aircraft’s GLS precision approach capability. Through ... with international terminology, the FAA will use the term GBAS in place of the former term Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS). b. An aircraft’s GLS approach capability relies on the broadcast from a GBAS Ground Facility (GGF) installation…

    approaches. Flight strips. Paper strips containing instrument flight information, used by ATC when processing flight plans. FMS. See flight management system. Form drag. The drag created because of the shape of a component or the aircraft. Fundamental skills. Pilot skills ... minimum altitude of an intermediate approach segment prescribed for a precision approach that ensures obstacle clearance. Global landing system (GLS). An instrument approach with lateral and vertical guidance with integrity limits (similar to barometric vertical navigation (BRO VNAV). Global navigation…

  • Chapter 1: The National Airspace System › Teardrop Procedure › RNAV Instrument Approach Charts

    Approach Charts To avoid unnecessary duplication and proliferation of approach charts, approach minimums for unaugmented GPS, Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS) are published on the same approach chart as lateral navigation/vertical navigation (LNAV/VNAV). Other types ... front of the TPP approach chart books. Approach charts titled “RNAV RWY XX” may be used by aircraft with navigation systems that meet the required navigational performance (RNP) values for each segment of the approach. [Figure 1-24] The chart…
