AIRCRAFT LANDING SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY STUDY. C-47D. AN/GSN-5
Abstract
Research concerns the landing control, central, AN/GSN-5 which is a ground-based, final approach navigation system providing three basic approach and landing techniques, namelrcraft surveillance and guidance information were maintained to to chdown. The study of the compatibility of the C-47D aircraft, the E-4 autopilot, and the Landing Control, Central, AN/GSN-5 indicated that, with the airborne and ground units conforming to the performance requirements stated herein, the aircraft an, completely automatic control, cross-pointer guided approach, and talkdown. These techniques may be used singularly or in combination. In all cases, however, aircraft surveillance and guidance information were maintained to to chdown. The study of the compatibility of the C-47D aircraft, the E-4 autopilot, and the Landing Control, Central, AN/GSN-5 indicated that, with the airborne and ground units conforming to the performance requirements stated herein, the aircraft and the AN/GSN-5 system were compatible, and that satisfactory all weather automatic final approaches and landings could be made. The aircraft was also compatible with the AN/GSN-5 system for cross pointer or talkdown guided approaches. (Author
