Precision Approach Radar
Asked by: Dave 5010 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations, Flight Instructor, Instrument Rating
Hi! According to the AIM, "a radar approach may be given to any A/C upon request and may be offered to pilots in distress or to expedite traffic". Now the question: If your destination airport is equipped with an ILS, but also with a PAR, what would a pilot choose? Are there any advantages with a PAR compared to an ILS, or (in reality) would it rather be used in a distress situation, where you might have lost a navigation instrument? Thanks!
