- Definition
- The elevation and transponder emission sensor of a transponder landing system.
- Description
- A transponder landing system is a precision landing system that uses the transponder emissions of an airborne aircraft coupled with ground elevation sensors to determine the position of the aircraft, and then sending the aircraft guidance signals via existing onboard Instrument Landing System (ILS) equipment. The transponder landing system is often used to create a precision approach at a location where an ILS would normally not be available due to cost or terrain issues.
