AIRCRAFT LANDING SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY STUDY. C-130A. 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, namely, completely automatic control, cross-pointer guided approach, and talkdown. These techniques may e used singularly or in combination. In all cases, however, aircraft surveillance and guidance information are maintained to touchdown. The study of the compatibility of the C-130A airplane, the E-4 autopilot, and the Landing Control, Central, AN/GSN-5 indicated that 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)
