glide slope

• Pente de descente électronique fournissant un guidage vertical à un aéronef lors de l'approche finale, généralement utilisée dans les systèmes d'atterrissage aux instruments (ILS).

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).

   Pente d'approche

   • 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.
