1. A method for automatically providing flight instructions to a pilot for landing an aircraft, comprising:
- determining spatial information at a radar station that corresponds to a spatial difference between the position of the aircraft and an optimal landing flight path;
converting the spatial information to flight instructions; and
conveying the flight instructions to the pilot for enabling the pilot to correct the actual landing flight path to the optimal landing flight path.
