How Category III autoland works, where it came from, and why its 1950s engineering still underpins every commercial airliner landing in near-zero visibility today.
VectorThe ILS circle-to-land is a fully authorized and often overlooked procedure - here's exactly how to fly it correctly and safely.
TowerThe false glideslope sits above the real ILS path at steeper angles - here's why it exists and how to avoid capturing it.
TowerHow Category III autoland uses triple-redundant autopilots and a radio altimeter to land an airliner in fog the crew cannot see through.
VectorWhat you must see at decision height to land off an ILS to minimums - and the approach light rule pilots forget.
