===Approach Lighting=== | ===Approach Lighting=== | ||
Approach lighting assists pilots with a higher-density array right before the threshold to assist in landings while the lights are on. Often on [[ILS]] enabled runways, there are two strips of lights continuing from the approach lights onto the runway through the the landing zone. | Approach lighting assists pilots with a higher-density array right before the threshold to assist in landings while the lights are on.

''Main article: [[Instrument Landing System]]'' | |||
Often there are many devices built in under the pavement on runways. One of these systems is Instrument Landing System, or ILS. It uses radio signals to guide in a pilot who cannot perform a visual approach or wants a more precise approach, for any reason. This feature is included in FlightGear and is in use at almost all commercial airports, plus many general aviation ones. | |||
