An aircraft take-off and landing system, wherein a symbol of a specified configuration is employed as an instrument means for take-off and landing. This symbol is formed by directed extended references made up of electromagnetic pencil beams with a wavelength which is within atmospheric windows, produced by at least one source of electromagnetic radiation, positioned on a flight platform. The electromagnetic pencil beams are oriented in space so that they determine the configuration of a symbol and, simultaneously, indicate the course and glide slope of an aircraft take-off and landing path, set a spatical take-off and landing corridor wherein this path lies, and show additionally various limits of a take-off and landing platform or various marker points of an estimated take-off and landing path. The method of aircraft take-off and landing, according to the proposed system, consists in flying an aircraft on a symbol of a specified configuration, its distortions being indicative of the aircraft\s deviation from the estimated take-off and landing path and their magnitude being indicative of the deviation direction and value. The proposed system may be made purely instrumental or visual, permitting both automatic and manual flying of an aircraft and is 100 or 1,000 times more accurate than conventional systems with localizers and glide slope transmitters. The aircraft flying method, according to the proposed system, is characterized by exceptional simplicity and reliability, it remains consistent at all stages of a take-off or landing path.
