glide slope

• Trayectoria de descenso electrónica que guía a una aeronave en el plano vertical durante la aproximación a una pista, generalmente como parte del sistema de aterrizaje por instrumentos (ILS). También puede referirse a la pendiente de planeo ideal que sigue la aeronave al aterrizar.

An electronic guidance system that provides vertical and lateral direction to an aircraft during its approach for landing, typically used in instrument landing systems (ILS).

1. Aircraft landing pathC1formal

   The vertical guidance path that an aircraft follows during its final approach to a runway, typically provided by an instrument landing system (ILS).

   Senda de planeo

   • The pilot aligned the aircraft with the glide slope for a smooth landing.
   • The glide slope indicator showed the plane was slightly below the optimal path.
   • Foggy conditions require pilots to rely on the glide slope for a safe approach.
