ABSTRACT:
The present invention deals with a flight control process and device for an aircraft approach and landing. More in particular, the invention in use simulates ILS by using an infrared radiation source at the desired landing site. The invention comprises the steps of determining an axis defined by the infrared radiation source, forming a predetermined guide slope line with respect to the horizontal and oriented according to a determined approach magnetic heading, recording the aircraft position with respect to the source, determining the angular deviations in azimuth and in elevation of the sighting axis with respect to the said glide slope line, and operating the aircraft flight controls to return said deviations to zero.
