ILS, GPS and visual

1

Helo, i was wondering what is ils gps and visual?

ILS gives you constant glideslope and localizer signals, so you can have a constant and smooth descent through the whole approach, GPS is a specific set of waypoints and specific altitudes, and visuals are just in the name. The controller will vector you until visual with the airport, in which he’ll ask you to report airport in sight, then clear you for the visual once you are visual with the airport. Hope this explanation helped!
