How Do Pilots See in Dense Fog?
Instrument Landing System (ILS)
Pilots rely on ILS — a radar-based system that helps them align perfectly with the runway, even when they can’t see it.
Autopilot Precision
During foggy conditions, advanced autopilot systems control altitude, speed, and direction precisely to keep the aircraft perfectly on course.
Runway Lighting Systems
Special approach and edge lights on runways help pilots see where to land. They shine brighter when visibility is low.
Pilot Training for Low Visibility
Pilots train extensively in simulators to handle zero-visibility landings, ensuring they remain calm and accurate under pressure.
Coordination with Air Traffic Control
Air traffic controllers continuously monitor radar and give real-time instructions to ensure safe approach and spacing during fog.
Advanced Weather Radars
Aircraft are equipped with advanced weather radar that helps pilots detect fog density and make informed navigation decisions.
