A localizer type directional aid (LDA) or Instrument Guidance System (IGS) is a type of localizer-based instrument approach to an airport. It is used in places where, due to terrain and other factors, the localizer antenna array is not aligned with the runway it serves.

Morristown Regional Airport's SDF approach procedure to runway 5 before its decommissioning. Simplified directional facility (SDF) was a localizer-based instrument non-precision approach to an airport, which provided final approach course similar to instrument landing system (ILS) and localizer type directional aid (LDA) approaches, although not as precise.

Runway 13R at Palm Springs International Airport An MD-11 at one end of a runway. In aviation, a runway is an elongated, rectangular surface designed for the landing and takeoff of an aircraft. [1] Runways may be a human-made surface (often asphalt, concrete, or a mixture of both) or a natural surface (grass, dirt, gravel, ice, sand or salt).
The asphalt runway measures 970 by 30 meters (3,182 by 98 ft) and is aligned 08/26. It has a takeoff run available (TORA) of 820 meters (2,690 ft) and a landing distance available (LDA) of 760 meters (2,490 ft). The airport is equipped with category 4 fire and rescue service. [1] The airport is situated 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) from Sandane.
The asphalt runway measures 2,314 by 45 meters (7,592 by 148 ft) and is aligned 06/24 (roughly northeast to southwest). Runway 06 has a declared take-off run available (TORA) of 2,164 meters (7,100 ft) and a landing distance available (LDA) of 2,014 meters (6,608 ft).
The controller then cleared the flight for the straight-in LDA approach to Runway 8 and instructed them to cross HOWARD inbound at or below 9,000 feet (2,743 m). The crew acknowledged the clearance and reported leaving 12,000 feet. The LDA approach consisted of a localizer providing horizontal guidance to the crew.
