Artist's Description
ILS stands for Instrument Landing System and simply stated is what pilots use to safely guide their aircraft to the runway when the weather conditions do not allow for a visual approach and landing. Such conditions make it very difficult or even impossible to see ahead, so using radio signals (sometimes coupled with high-intensity lights) the pilot can safely navigate the aircraft through low ceilings, rain, dense fog, snow, and safely land.
The radio signals are ground-based and are sent continuously. Containing two separate parts, the signals guide the pilot (or autopilot) both to the centerline of the runway and down a safe rate of descent, or glideslope.
To use the ILS, the pilot must tune the navigation radio receiver in the cockpit to the appropriate frequency for the runway to be used. Once tuned to the proper frequency the pilot can then guide the aircraft along the path set by the radio frequency by either hand-flying or by using the autopilot. When hand-fl...

After i saw this image I found myself dreaming about it and wondering about fog photography, and coming back again and again to the thought that not many things are not nearly as interesting in the fog as this subject you have captured.

Fantastic image! My son-in-law is a pilot and I try not to think about him flying in bad conditions like this! Of course, he says his close calls are those driving to and from the airport! fav/v194
