5.2 About the Avionics Options
The following topics summarize some background information on the related avionics
standards. The provided overview information is intended as explanation of the used
terms and does not aim to be comprehensive.
Brief overview of the avionics standards
●
Landing systems: ILS (Instrument Landing System), MLS (Microwave Landing
System)
Landing systems are ground-based approach systems that provide precision guid-
ance to an aircraft approaching and (blind) landing on a runway.
●
Radio/Flight navigation systems: VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Radio), DME (Dis-
tance measuring equipment), TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation), ADF (Automatic
Direction Finder)
The radio navigation systems are aircraft systems that support the pilots to deter-
mine the aircraft positions and stay on course. These systems are more and more
obsolete. However, due to security reasons, these flight navigation systems are still
in use.
●
Radar systems: RSR (En Route Surveillance Radar), ASR (Airport Surveillance
Radar), PAR (Precision Approach Radar), ASDE (Airport Surface Detection Equip-
ment), SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar)
Radar systems are divided into two groups, primary (RSR, ASR, PAR and ASDE)
and secondary (SSR). The radar systems are used in air traffic control to mainly
detects and measures the position of aircraft, i.e. its range and bearing.
