If I am not wrong, this was taken in KT by one of my super seniors who went there last year, before the extension of the runway.TE Sim L1/7
Instrument Landing System (ILS), most commonly used by airliners during an approach to land.
Unlike other non-precision approach systems, this one provides a more accurate guidance to pilots especially during bad weather conditions.
This kinda system not only gives lateral guidance, but also shows the vertical guidance (glideslope).
Now you see why some airlines have such psychomotor test?? To those of you who went for the test, I am pretty sure you were told to complete a task that required you to steer the vertical and horizontal axis to center position and then maintain it as long as possible.
Same concept as above, we applied it here in ILS, where we have to maintain the aircraft steadily on the glidepath and to the centreline of runway....
ALL the way down to a point called Decision Altitude (DA).
If we are visual with the runway at this point, continue with the approach visually to land.
If no, then abort the approach and carry out the Missed Approach Procedure (which is stated clearly in each and every Jeppesen chart in most of the airfields today). Different airfields, different procedures.
To remember all those procedures, you need superhuman memory power. Obviously, we don't. So we bring those charts along in flight. Something like a road map, in simple.
I am tired. Bye~
