A Landing Beacon is a beacon that marks areas where ships may land in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. They are found in groups of four in all Landing Sites, except the landing sites in Leviathans and on Phaaze. Landing Beacons will not be active on Sites where obstructions such as debris or hostile bioforms prevent ships from docking. They contain sensors that can detect such obstructions and are programmed to retract until such obstructions are removed. Samus can use areas that have active Landing Beacons to command her Gunship to land.
