Airbus xLS concept
• ILS is the reference instrument
approach system for all pilots
• xLS concept provides ILS look-alike
crew interface for all possible
sources
• Airbus introduced FLS to provide an
xLS solution for Non-Precision
Approaches with Baro-VNAV
guidance
xLS expands the ILS operational
benefits to all types of approaches
