Can you explain, in simple terms, how exactly does the glideslope system work in aviation? I understand it's a vital component for a SAFE landing, but I'm having trouble visualizing the process. How does it guide the aircraft to the runway and ensure a smooth touchdown? Also, how does it adjust for factors like wind and other potential obstacles?
