On-board multispectral imaging system for all-weather aircraft landing is described. Flight tests results on glissade trajectories using light aircraft АС-5 МР at various weather conditions are presented. It is shown that traditional use of visible (0,4...0,8 μm) and thermal infrared (7,5...14,0 μm) spectral channels is not effective at foggy weather; it requires the addition with near-infrared (0,9...1,7 μm) channel.
