Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is an ILS glideslope?

An electronic radio beam providing horizontal and vertical guidance down to runway touchdown.

Why enforce IFR separation?

Prevents mid-air collision and destructive wingtip wake turbulence vortices.

How does crosswind affect approaches?

Controllers assign heading drift corrections to offset lateral wind displacement.
