Instrument landing system glide path information


Emission patterns of the localizer and glide slope signals
Glide slope station for runway 09R at Hannover Airport in Germany

In aviation, instrument landing system glide path, commonly referred to as a glide path (G/P) or glide slope (G/S), is "a system of vertical guidance embodied in the instrument landing system which indicates the vertical deviation of the aircraft from its optimum path of descent".[1]
