What Does GCA Stand For?
GCA stands for Ground Controlled Approach
The Ground Controlled Approach (GCA) is a precision approach procedure used in aviation, where air traffic controllers provide real-time guidance to pilots for landing, typically in low visibility conditions. Utilizing radar technology, controllers assist aircraft in navigating to the runway safely, ensuring accurate alignment and descent. GCA is critical for maintaining safety in challenging weather situations and enhances operational efficiency at airports.
