What Does FLOLS Stand For?

FLOLS stands for Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System

Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (FLOLS) is a visual landing aid used primarily in maritime aviation. It employs a series of Fresnel lenses to project an illuminated glide path, assisting pilots in aligning their descent during approach to aircraft carriers and other naval vessels. By providing clear visual reference points, FLOLS enhances landing accuracy and safety in various environmental conditions.
