WHAT DOES GLIDE SLOPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

glide slope

Instrument landing system

An instrument landing system is a radio beam transmitter that provides a direction for approaching aircraft that tune their receiver to the ILS frequency. It provides both lateral and a vertical signals. It is a ground-based instrument approach system that provides precision guidance to an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway, using a combination of radio signals and, in many cases, high-intensity lighting arrays to enable a safe landing during instrument meteorological conditions, such as low ceilings or reduced visibility due to fog, rain, or blowing snow. An instrument approach procedure chart is published for each ILS approach to provide the information needed to fly an ILS approach during instrument flight rules operations. A chart includes the radio frequencies used by the ILS components or navaids and the prescribed minimum visibility requirements. Radio-navigation aids must provide a certain accuracy; to ensure this is the case, flight inspection organizations periodically check critical parameters with properly equipped aircraft to calibrate and certify ILS precision.
