Plain English Meaning

The name of a published instrument approach that uses a special radio signal to bring you in toward Runway 2, but the signal points slightly off from the runway itself, so you'll need to maneuver visually at the end to land.

Full Definition

The published title of an instrument approach procedure that uses a Localizer-Type Directional Aid (LDA) to guide aircraft toward Runway 2 at a specific airport. An LDA provides lateral course guidance similar to a localizer, but its course is not aligned within 3 degrees of the runway centerline, so it is not classified as a precision or straight-in localizer approach. The '2' identifies the runway whose is approximately 020 degrees.
