A landing approach in which a ground controller gives verbal guidance in azimuth and elevation to a pilot using precision approach radar (PAR) to monitor the aircraft's approach path. Still used by the military, but defunct in civil aviation.

In addition, precision approach radar (PAR) is available at some locations to allow controllers to guide an airplane to a landing under instrument weather conditions in place of on-board approach navigation equipment.
