The main means of providing instrumental approach of aircraft for landing are beacon landing systems. It forms in space a trajectory (glide path), located, as a rule, at the angle of 3° in relation to the horizontal plane. The dependence of the glide path angle on the height of the snow cover on the underlying surface when using previously known antenna arrays in the glide slope is demonstrated in the paper. A new class of glide slope antenna arrays is proposed in the study. The requirements for
