In nearly 60 years of use ILS systems were never found at fault in an airplane Crash. This flawless record is a direct result of the training given to Navaid technicians.

The Instrument Landing System, also known as ILS for short, is a ground-based instrument approach system designed to aid pilots in the landing of aircraft, especially during low visibility situations such as inclement weather or nighttime landings.

INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM (ILS) - A system that provides, in the aircraft, the lateral and longitudinal (localizer), and vertical (guidance) electronic guidance necessary for an instrument landing.

Instrument Landing System: Equipment determining glideslope, localizer (bearing), and distance (marker beacon) to a runway; ILS provides precision aiding for landing; ILS is usually part of a VOR station.

Although it sounds pretty generic, an ILS is a specific and accurate set of equipment used to provide a very accurate instrument approach.

Instrument Landing System (ILS) - An electronic system installed at some airports which helps to guide pilots to runways for landing during periods of limited visibility or adverse weather.

ILS - Instrument Landing System. A radar-based system allowing ILS-equipped aircraft to find a runway and land when clouds may be as low as 200 feet (or lower for special circumstances).

ILS is short for Instrument Landing System, used by pilots flying by using instruments only, not looking out the window. In most cases, this is because of weather, such as rain or low clouds.
