Life in the office @35000 feet: Long Beach

Last week as I already told you I went to Long beach with my flightmate Arnaud and my instructor.
It was a three hour flight one way, we ate a little sandwich at the airport and I took the leg Long Beach-Falcon Field on me.
Because Long Beach is lying at the coast you always have some fog and low level clouds in the morning.
We were obliged to do an ILS approch (Instrument landing system) because the visibility was only a few miles and we only saw the runway about one minute before landing.
An ILS tells you if you're left or right from the centerline and if you are high or low on the desired glideslope. This is a very accurate system used for bad weather conditions.
If your airplane and airport is approved for a CATIII approach then you can land without even seeing the runway. the autopilot flies than the ILS down to the runway.
It was the first time ever we flew into the clouds during our training.
Also a new thing was that we were constantly under radar contact and ATC (air traffic) control.
They told us when to turn, to descent/climb, contact another station,...
So in fact we did a flight like real airline pilots, following instructions from ATC and doing a real ILS into an unfamiliar airport and returning 30 minutes later to our home base again.
