The invention relates to an automatic landing system (101) for an aircraft (100). The automatic landing system contains a control device (102) for providing positional data for controlling the aircraft, a first position or range measuring device (103) for detecting first positional data of the aircraft, a second position or range measuring device (104) for detecting second positional data of the aircraft, and a sensor device (105) for detecting sensor data from which a direction in which a landmark (109) is located and/or a distance of the landmark to the aircraft can be determined. The control device (102) is designed to generate, based on the first positional data, a first hypothesis for the direction and distance of the landmark and, based on the second positional data, a second hypothesis for the direction and distance of the landmark. Moreover, the control device is designed to confirm or discard the first hypothesis and the second hypothesis, respectively, using the sensor data detected by the sensor device (105). The control device is also designed to decide that only the positional data of the aircraft are to be used on which a confirmed hypothesis is based. |
