How do pilots use ILS for landing and aircraft?

Pilots use the Instrument Landing System (ILS) to assist in landing aircraft, particularly in low visibility conditions. ILS provides precise lateral (localizer) and vertical (glideslope) guidance, allowing pilots to align the aircraft with the runway and maintain the correct descent angle. During the approach, the aircraft’s instruments display signals from ground-based ILS equipment, enabling pilots to make necessary adjustments to ensure a safe landing. This system enhances accuracy and safety during the critical landing phase.
