precision point landing
1Precision approach radar — (PAR) is a type of radar guidance system designed to provide lateral and vertical guidance to an aircraft pilot for landing, until the missed approach point is reached. Controllers monitoring the PAR displays observe each aircraft s position and… …
2Landing footprint — After Atmospheric reentry, a non powered spacecraft will land on an area depending upon entry angle, entry mass, atmosphere and drag. It is therefore impossible to know the spacecraft s landing point with absolute precision. By simulating varying …
3Instrument landing system — The Instrument Landing System (ILS) is a ground based instrument approach system that provides precision guidance to an aircraft approaching a runway, using a combination of radio signals and, in many cases, high intensity lighting arrays to… …
4Microwave landing system — The NASA 737 research aircraft on the Wallops runway in 1987 with the Microwave Landing System equipment in the foreground. A microwave landing system (MLS) is an all weather, precision landing system originally intended to replace or supplement… …
5Missed approach point — (MAPt or MAP) is the point prescribed in each instrument approach at which a missed approach procedure shall be executed if the required visual reference does not exist. It defines the point for precision and non precision approaches when the… …
