    TLS uses the existing Mode 3/A/C/S transponder equipment to determine the aircraft's position. It then transmits the correct signal on the same frequencies used for the current ILS system. All the pilot is required to do is wait for clearance from ATC for the TLS approach and then tune an ILS receiver to the appropriate frequency.

  7. Microwave landing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_landing_system

    The microwave landing system (MLS) is an all-weather, precision radio guidance system intended to be installed at large airports to assist aircraft in landing, including 'blind landings'. [1] MLS enables an approaching aircraft to determine when it is aligned with the destination runway and on the correct glidepath for a safe landing.
