Final answer:

Non-ILS Approaches such as localizer and LDA without glideslope approaches are aviation procedures that use autopilot and flight director systems, along with the LOC pb, to assist in landing under challenging conditions. These systems provide lateral navigation guidance, enhancing precision and safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original question pertains to Non-ILS Approaches, specifically how the autopilot and flight director - in conjunction with the LOC pb - are approved for Localizer and LDA without glideslope approaches. In aviation, Non-ILS (Instrument Landing System) approaches are those where an aircraft uses instruments and guidance systems, other than the ILS, to perform a precise landing in adverse weather conditions. The Localizer (LOC) provides lateral guidance, while the LDA (Localizer Directional Aid) is a non-precision approach system that also provides lateral guidance, but without the glideslope that provides vertical guidance. With LOC pb (push button), the pilot can use the aircraft's autopilot system and flight director for guidance during these localizer and LDA approaches. These systems greatly enhance the precision and safety of flights.
