How do I know if an airport has ILS?
One way to tell if an airport has ILS or not (assuming you can't discern from the cones), is to tap on the airport and then go to the “runway” heading. If you tap on a specific runway and the “set NAV 1” button is disabled, then that runway is not equipped with ILS.
Can you land without ILS?
It is only possible to automatically land at an airport equipped with a suitable ILS. In short, no ILS, no automatic landing.
Do all airports have ILS?
