Instrument Landing System
It is used in aviation, typically on bad IFR days. I HATE using the ILS because there's no skill...
Some operators require a landing with ILS, and some European airports do too.
I prefer doing NPAs or RNAV approaches...
The ILS catches usually around the Mode C Veil - 30 to 50 NM from the airport.
Usually only Class B Airports have ILS systems, but some Class C airports have Cat I systems...

I.L.S. or Imaginary Lat Syndrome is an ailment suffered by men who walk around with thier arms further away from their lats (latimus dorsi), the muscle on the side of thier torso, to create the illusion that their lats (and physiques) are much bigger than they are.
Did you see Leah's new boyfried? The kid's got I.L.S. He think he's big but he's only like a buck fifty.

Usually ILS sufferers are guys that refuse to work out, but nonetheless hold their arms out at about a 45 degree angle from their body as if to say "hey it's hard bein' this ripped" Also called "the cobra" Often times coupled with the very popular IGS or Invisible Girdle Syndrome.
