Let's talk about Airbus 320. In present, it is the world's best passenger aircraft. The aircraft has the longest single-aisle aircraft, airlines and passengers. Nowadays, this the most used passengers aircraft in the world's airspace. This aircraft has an exceptional efficiency as it accounts for new engine options (NEO). The aircraft accounts for many autonomous systems such as auto-pilot, auto-recognition and auto-checkups, etc. In the following paragraph, we will talk about the Glideslope and Localizer, which are the main terminologies used in the Aviation Sector while take-off or landing. Therefore, to land an aircraft we need to know some basics so let's discuss it in the subsequent steps.
A localizer is an autonomous system which, guides the aircraft along the axis of the runway; thus, it is an important landing system. Next, Glideslope is a descent of the aircraft which, the pilot has to maintain while approaching to the runway. Based on the Aviation Manual the descent angle is given as 3 degrees. Before, approaching the runway the pilot has to confirm the Glideslope, heading of the aircraft and the ILS of the runway (this is basically the number of the runway).
The figure shown below demonstrates the Top view and Side view of the airport runway. In the top view, you can see the horizontal plane of the runway. The localizer guide/manoeuvre the aircraft towards the designated runway using the instrument landing system (ILS). The glideslope and the heading of the aircraft are given by the Air Traffic Controller (ATS) for a specific landing condition it basically depends on the length of the runway, the dimension of the aircraft, etc.

Some of the steps are given below:
1. You have to use the knobs from the FCO Panel in the Cockpit.
2. Next, to your seat, you will see a display with some keys there will be a key/button for preferences select it, and then press activates approach phase. By doing this your aircraft activates the landing mode and checks for landing system autonomously and starts decreasing it speed with provided descent.
3. Then check for the speed of the aircraft and press the knob to decrease the speed so that the aircraft can go to the desired landing speed (Using the FCO Panel).
4. Next, talk with the ATC controller to ask for the heading and the altitude, and then set them using the FCO Panel. The heading is always given such that you meet the localizer on the runway.
5. Select auto brakes using the FCO panel, therefore, the aircraft starts applying them after the landing gears touch the ground.
6. Next, to your seat, you will find a lever for flaps you have to use that to decrease the speed of an aircraft.
7. Press the button for an approach using the FCO Panel this will help the aircraft to manoeuvre to the localizer in the horizontal plane.
8. Finally, open the landing gears and lock them and you will make a safe landing. Make the throttle levers ideal.
