A computer-implemented method of navigating a vertical take-off and landing (“VTOL”) vehicle near a landing zone, may comprise receiving data related to a first radar signal reflected from at least one corner reflector; determining whether the received data is consistent with a predefined target landing zone; upon determining that the received data is consistent with the predefined target landing zone, determining a location of the VTOL vehicle relative to the predefined target landing zone, using a second radar signal reflected from at least one corner reflector; and determining whether the location of the VTOL vehicle is consistent with a predefined landing position.
