The problems in aircraft landing under low visibility weather conditions are discussed. Most of these problems are based on the fact that ILS is not a landing system, but an approach aid. Its incompleteness has to be compensated with auxiliary equipment, such as radio altitude measurement, optical landing aids, ect. The decision of the pilot of land or not to land under certain weather conditions should be supported more than by present displayed information. The aritificial improvement of optical visibility is an interesting consequence.
