  • Instrument Landing System and Its Requirement in India
    JOURNAL OF CRITICAL REVIEWS ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 14, 2020 INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM AND ITS REQUIREMENT IN INDIA Shivendra Shrivastava1, Rahul Kumar Verma2, Gp Capt M Shrivastava3 1,2Amity University, Noida 3Air Force [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: The ILS is a navigational aid invented in the forties it helps aircrafts in landing. The pilots still consider the ILS as one of the most reliable means of guidance it continues to be used around the world. This paper examines what is an ILS its categories, components and the relevance of ILS in India. Since all Indian airports do not have ILS it causes disruption of flights, passenger discomfort and loss of business. The ILS has been compared with other advance systems of navigation in the market. Considering seamless movement of flights a necessity for business and development of India, the paper proposes ILS/GAGAN installation at all Indian airports. Key words - ILS, Localizer, Glide slope, Yagi antenna. BACKGROUND The development of an instrument landing system (ILS) began during World War I in the twenties but it was not until the thirties that some substantial research was carried out. The airports used to fire flares to guide the commercial airliners. There was a lot of research work carried out by USA and UK from 1930 to 1947 in developing a system in order to land aircrafts safely in low visibility conditions. This was a direct outcome of World War 2 since during the war the USAF bombers could not carry out bombing over Europe in foggy weather conditions.
