Ground-Controlled Approach

Description:

A Ground-Controlled Approach (GCA) is a system used in aviation to guide aircraft during landing in low-visibility or adverse weather conditions. It relies on ground-based radar equipment and air traffic controllers to provide precise instructions and guidance to pilots. Through continuous radio communication, GCA enables safe and accurate landings, particularly in situations where pilots have limited visibility.

Sample Sentences:

• The air traffic controller provided the pilot with instructions for the ground-controlled approach.
• During the heavy fog, the ground-controlled approach system assisted the plane in landing smoothly.
• GCA helps aircraft make precise landings even in challenging weather conditions.
