ILS System

Some pilots when attempt to landing, they have two options, either using ILS approach or visual approach. As you know visual means sighting or making a manual landing without autopilot system. For me, when I'm reached 400 feet, set otto pilot *alert* off and make a smooth landing.
In Brunei Intl Airport (WBSB) also equipped with 2 ILS approach ( Runway 3 and 21 ).

ILS means Instrument Landing System.
Use for Landing an aircraft to make its decent when it has established on the localizer and captured the glide slope.


Source WIKI :

"The Instrument Landing System (ILS) is a ground-based instrument approach system that provides precision guidance to an aircraft approaching a runway, using a combination of radio signals and, in many cases, high-intensity lighting arrays to enable a safe landing during instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), such as low ceilings or reduced visibility due to fog, rain, or blowing snow."
