Definition

What does LAS mean?

LAS
LAS stands for "Landing Approach System" or "Localizer Approach System." It is a navigational aid used in aviation to assist aircraft in their approach and landing at an airport. LAS provides horizontal guidance to pilots by transmitting radio signals that the aircraft's navigation systems can interpret. This allows pilots to align their aircraft precisely with the centerline of the runway during the final phase of landing, ensuring a safe and accurate touchdown. LAS is typically used in conjunction with other systems, such as the glide slope, to provide vertical guidance for a complete and stable approach.
