What Does GCA Stand For?
GCA stands for Ground Control Approach
GCA, or Ground Control Approach, is a precision landing procedure used in aviation that enables aircraft to land safely in low visibility conditions. It involves guidance provided by ground-based radar and operators who assist pilots in aligning the aircraft with the runway during approach and landing. GCA enhances safety and efficiency, particularly in adverse weather, ensuring accurate navigation and descent profiles for successful landings.
