"The ILS is an electronic beam from the ground sent to pilots when
visibility is poor. Essentially, it shows pilots where the plane should
be on approach, called the glide slope."

I guess we don't have to worry about the localizer anymore, just
glideslope.

if they'll send me one this winter when it's snowing so hard I can't
see the road?
